My Steam client just downloaded the latest update and on close, it tired to apply the patch. I guess something did not go as planned, because after running Steam again I got the same thing. Taking a look at the console log, I found something about a symlink error, but not much else. So I ran again and this time the system froze and turned off. After reboot, I can no longer run Steam because steam.sh as well as most of the library and binary files in ubuntu12_32 are truncated to 0 bytes!

a) Is there anything else I can provide to make this report more useful?
b) What steps do you suggest for me to get back a working Steam installation? I would prefer not to re-download everything...

The latest client update has an issue if your package manager has not updated to the latest steam loader already - http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/archive/precise/steam_latest.deb
Installing this should fix it.
