Hi,
I've got a similar error message.
After uninstalling steam via apt-get purge and removing ~/.steam ~/.local/share/Steam/* (execpt SteamApps) I still got the same error:
~$ LANG=c STEAM_RUNTIME=1 steam

STEAM_RUNTIME=0 does nearly the same. I even tried fiddling arround with the steam.sh script (arround line 704), but the script gets overwritten on startup.
Setting DEBUGGER=gdb isn't producing anything of interrest (no debugging symbols found).
For a second the steam update window appearing.

I'm having the same issue after the latest update -- the update progress bar flashes and then hides, and the steam window never shows up, but it never actually crashes.

This is excluding steam runtime version, since I don't know what it is since it won't open :)

fix this is
The workaround is removing the "appcache" folder from your Steam directory.
the same problem on xubuntu 13.04 64 bit
Confirmed, Removing appcache fixes issue.. kill all steam processes delete or rename appcache and start steam.
Sorry, a bad appinfo was pushed out and this is causing the Linux client to hang. We have fixed the bad data and if you delete ~/.steam/steam/appcache/appinfo.vdf it will redownload the new data and fix the problem.
We'll have a new client shortly that will prevent this from happening again.
Hi and thanks for the reply.
Sorry I have to crash the party, but as I wrote before, I already deleted the whole ~/.local/share/Steam folder without success.
Maybe another bug fell in love with me, but I deleted everything - as far as I know - installed by steam. I purged steam and steam-launcher, deleted
