I'm running Steam on Fedora 19, 64 bit and completely updated as of yesterday (28 february 2014). Yesterday evening I could normally run Steam, nothing seemed wrong. Today Steam has been crashing a LOT.

I had some random freezes and stuff so I decided to delete the Steam binaries from my system (rm -rf ~/.steam ~/.local/share/Steam) and let the client redownload everything. That didn't do anything either.

I still have the dump that Steam created. Can I upload this somewhere?

The complete output from the start of Steam to it's crash:

Okay... After doing an rm -rf on my Steam library everything seems to work again. So somehow my Steam library got messed up. But I don't know if I should close this, because IMO it should be fixed. Somehow...

Hello @xudonax, there doesn't look to be anything actionable here since steam's folder was deleted without a hint as to what went wrong. We'd need to re-investigate from scratch if this comes up again so I'm going to close this issue report.
