Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): 02.08.2019 (not sure, latelst)
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Manjaro
Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] no
Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] yes

Steps for reproduce and fix this issue:

today i recieved updates for manjaro, installed all of them
launch steam -> got error

Failed to load steamui.so - dlerror(): /home/bohdan/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libva-x11.so.1: undefined symbol: fool_postp

seems like something wrong with that lib

so i checked files. In this folder libva-x11.so.1 is symlink to libva-x11.so.1.3900.0
so i removed symlink to local libva-x11"
rm libva-x11.so.1

and linked my system libva to this path
ln -s /usr/lib32/libva-x11.so ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libva-x11.so.1

I've had no such issue on my Manjaro [unstable branch] install & I'm updated to the latest versions of everything. I believe your issue is because you weren't opted into the Steam beta. That's my only plausible explanation.
