After following the recommendations on the debian Wiki, adding the i386 architecture and installing steam from apt, still missing libGL.so.1:

Anyone else coming across this error, try installing

apt install nvidia-driver-libs:i386

this seems to have resolved it for me.

  • searching and trying for about 60 minutes on Kali Linux, this works for me together with the instructions here: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-steam-with-steam-play-on-debian-10-buster – Agguro Jun 27 '21 at 13:00
  • I love you man, first correct answer after 2-day search – Smily Dec 19 '21 at 20:40

    note that the steam installer itself calls this `nvidia-driver-libs-i386`, which can be confusing (dash instead of colon) – pzkpfw Jan 02 '22 at 16:43

I still run into this error message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 : Depends: libvulkan1:i386 (>= 1.2.131.2) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
