In steamwebhelper.log, the steam runtime heavy tar.xz failed to be verified because the "--quiet" option from your md5sum command is used and the busybox version of the md5sum command does not have the "--quiet" option (I created a wrapper to remove this option, then I did hit the libcups hard dependency error, see the corresponding ticket).

Steam for Linux is designed to run on GNU/Linux systems, and does not support use of non-GNU core utilities.

But, since avoiding the --quiet option is straightforward, the latest Steam update (2021-09-13, 1631572918) avoids it anyway.

This should not be interpreted as a commitment to support non-GNU core CLI utilities in the future. The only officially supported platform is (still) the latest Ubuntu LTS.
