When I try to install Steam 64bit I get this error:

Package dependencies cannot be resolved

This error could be caused by required additional software packages
which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could
be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be
installed at the same time.


The following packages have unmet dependencies:


steam64: Depends: steam (= 1.0.0.27ubuntu1) but it is a virtual package

Any idea on what to do? I've searched this website and tried most of the answers but none of it worked.

I didn't tested yet but there is seems workaround http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/864959809808921128/#c864959809910700746

Hey guys, I have a workaround that will let you install the Steam64 install from Ubuntu Software Center.

First, install the 32bit libraries:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

If you're unable to do so due to dependencies, run these commands BEFORE installing ia32-libs:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update

Then, attempt install ia32-libs again. Be patient; the time it took for me to complete the ia32-libs install took longer than most installations.

Afterwards, you should be able to install Steam (64-bit) through the Ubuntu Software Center. Worked like a charm for me, and I've been fighting this for several hours.

Good luck!!
