@RokeJulianLockhart, although the command line output is identical:

  1. #!/usr/bin/env sh
steam 'steam://install/280680'

  2. Couldn't import apt, please install python3-apt or update steamdeps for your distribution.

steam.sh[7113]: Steam client's requirements are satisfied

...it appears to work now. I uninstalled steamdb.info/depot/280683/history/?changeid=M:1934060864739169180, and updated to a new beta version. I don't know which fixed it.
