Source: steam
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Trying to install steam (`sudo apt install steam`) fails due to
unment depedency. The exact error is
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 : Depends: libllvm10:i386 (>= 1:9~svn298832-1~) but it is
not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
* What exactly did you do that was ineffective?
I tried to install libllvm10:i386, but `apt` suggested that I have
to install most of pre-installed stuffs (>1200 MB) to install the
package. Clearly not an option. I am attaching the output of `apt policy
libllvm10 libllvm10:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 steam`

steam should install along with all its dependencies.

This is not something that can be fixed by changes to the steam package,
which genuinely does require both 32- and 64-bit graphics drivers.

I think you mean that it suggested that you have to *remove* 1200M
of packages? (Obviously, don't do that.)

This is "multiarch skew" between the versions of libllvm10:amd64 and
libllvm10:i386 visible on your mirror: libllvm10 on i386 was recompiled
because of a transition involving Ocaml, and libllvm10 on amd64 was
not. As a result, they cannot be installed together. This is something
that will inevitably happen occasionally in a development distribution
like testing/unstable, and the steam package cannot avoid it.
steam will be installable again when the versions of libllvm10:amd64
and libllvm10:i386 get back into alignment, or after upgrading Mesa to
the version currently in unstable, which is compiled against libllvm11.
If you had already had libllvm10:i386 installed, then it would have been
held back at version 1:10.0.1-6 until the versions were realigned.
