Here the log when I start Steam from terminal: https://gist.github.com/Johnnii360/b15175938ff5e595f554eb482c170368
My sysinfo: https://gist.github.com/Johnnii360/f676617af3126bd98d55204c8937e731

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Rename ~.steam and ~.local/share/Steam to ...-old
Start Steam and let update run
Error occures

I also purged Steam and tried to reinstall it over Ubuntu repo and your .deb file. But nothing worked. I did yesterday a apt autoremove but I have no idea if this caused the issue?

Hello @Johnnii360, Failed to load steamui.so - dlerror(): /home/johannes/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libva-x11.so.2: undefined symbol: va_fool_postp in your log is the key detail and makes this issue a duplicate of #8673.

There's a good chance that sudo apt install libva-x11-2:i386 will workaround this issue.

Closing as a duplicate.
