What happened?

App wont install, failed to fetch certain packages/missing packages

Description

My main issue is with i386 packages which I at no point, other then once with Pi-Apps, successfully installed, but as explained a little more in detail later, in uninstalling Steam these packages were uninstalled as well.

Circumstance: I have gotten it to work the day before, but when I booted up today (so just after reboot), I had a gdm3 issue which had to be fixed for the GUI to work, when that was fixed, I could run steam in a safe mode once on another user. I had a (probably) unrelated resource problem, and I closed steam without trying to log in or anything, since I want steamcmd instead, but without luck. After this Steam was no longer working and I got a message saying "missing libc.so.6" (If I remember correctly). I uninstalled Steam in hopes that could fix it, and then I got the following error log.

Pi-Apps Error pop-up: "Steam failed to install because Pi-Apps encountered an internet error. Error report cannot be sent because this is not an issue with Pi-Apps. [...] Below, Pi-Apps explains what went wrong and how you can fix it.

APT reported an unresolvable repository.

Check your Internet connection and try again."

Following that I did try, just to be certain, with a different network.

Extra: I have been trying a lot of things for running steamcmd, but with no luck, would rather get that running since my goal is to use my Rasp as a dedicated server for games. I could not find much on this specific problem.

*I do have box86

The issue you are having has nothing to do with steam. Your system is an ARM64 system and cannot run i386 (x86) packages natively, you should NOT have added the i386 dpkg architecture to your system, remove it and your issue will be fixed.

sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386
