Did the update, and the client refuses to load, log is:
steam-runtime-check-requirements[5439]: W: Child process exited with code 127
/mnt/128/home/user/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/libexec/steam-runtime-tools-0/srt-bwrap:error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.2: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory

steam.sh[4295]: Error: Steam now requires user namespaces to be enabled.

It seems, the client loader distribution is missing that libcap (probably with its dependencies).

reverting to non-beta.

beta reversion is not possible, the working runtime is not restored.

Did a lucky workaround appending to LD_LIBRARY_PATH: /home/user/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Nothing extracted yet.
