Today I fired up steam, and the following error occurred:

seppi@seppi7:~♠ steam
Repairing installation, linking /home/seppi/.steam/steam to /home/seppi/.local/share/Steam
Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
/media/3TB SATA SEAGATE/Steam/steam.sh: line 347: no match: /media/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime.tar.xz.part*
Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libc.so.6

multilib/lib32-glibc 2.21-2 [installed]
seppi@seppi7:~♠ ls /usr/lib32/libc.so.6
/usr/lib32/libc.so.6

You'll notice I have lib32-glibc installed. I have run steam before on this system!

Any help would be appreciated.

Is this the same as #3730?

@gdrewb-valve I'm not sure, as I'm running arch linux.

I saw that issue earlier, but didn't know if it was platform dependent, so I figured I'd make an issue, in case it was.

It's likely it's a similar thing but I'll leave this one open also. You could try the Mesa workarounds discussed in the link from #3730 and see if they help.

I have lib32-mesa already installed.

Unless I'm mistaken the workaround is to install lib32-mesa-libgl but that conflicts with my lib32-nvidia-libgl, which would bomb my nvidia driver stack.

I was wondering more about the libc portion since Steam isn't finding it even though you appear to have things installed. You may also have an entirely different issue.

Alright, I was able to resolve my issue.

Originally I had soft linked my ~/.steam folder to /media/3TB SATA SEAGATE/Steam

I was digging around, and it looks like when steam updated, it didn't recognize the spaces, and changed my soft linking to /media.

I have removed:
~/.steam
~/.steampid
~/.steampath
~/.local/share/Steam/

And started steam up which re-initialized everything. From that, I relinked

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps to /media/3TB SATA SEAGATE/Steam/SteamApps which fixed my issue, and everything runs again.

While this does put ~1GB of data on my primary partition, I'm ok with that as long as the common data is not on it, so this is an acceptable solution to me!

Unfortunately I have no idea how to reproduce this issue. I'll leave that up to you if you want to make a new ticket on this subject.

@gdrewb-valve Thanks so much for your time.
