OK, I think given the severity of this, I'm going to bump libnm0:i386
up to a Depends, and add libusb-1.0-0:i386 (which is the other library
in the Steam Runtime that depends on libudev.so.0) as a Recommends.

Actually libnm0:i386 wasn't installed.
And yes, this fixed it now.

So it's just a problem if you don't have all Recommends installed.

Thanks for your hint

steam-installer is at the same version in testing and unstable, and even
if it wasn't, holding back its migration with a RC bug wouldn't prevent
this crash, because the important parts of Steam auto-update themselves.

I'm surprised that you're seeing this crash, because it seems you already
have the factors that were mentioned in the upstream bug as potential
workarounds: libnm0:i386 is installed, and so is libudev0:i386.

Are these things that you installed as a (successful) workaround, but were
not present at the time that you saw the crash you're reporting?

If those have not been successful workarounds, some other packages you
could try installing (most likely solution first) are:

- libusb-1.0-0:i386
- libudev0:amd64
- libnm0:amd64
- libusb-1.0-0:amd64

Hi,

this seems to have been already reported upstream 2 weeks ago.
I guess even if on Debian side, nothing can be changed, it's still
useful to have the problem at least known. Which was mainly my
motivation.
As soon as it enters testing more people are affected

Debian has no control over what's in the proprietary Steam client, so
please report this sort of thing to

Package: steam-installer
Version: 1:1.0.0.78~ds-2
Severity: grave

Steam crashes on startup with libgudev 238-2 currently in unstable.
libgudev 237-2 from testing works fine with Steam.

Console only shows this for the crash:

Assertion 'device' failed at src/libsystemd/sd-device/device-private.c:103, 
function device_get_tags_generation(). Aborting.
crash_20230722173957_25.dmp[26236]: Uploading dump (out-of-process)

No stack trace or anything else which differs between working and crashing 
steam.
