I am trying to install Steam on my system using the steam-installer package, but I am encountering the following error:
# apt install steam-installer
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Unsatisfied dependencies:
steam-installer : Depends: steam-libs-i386 (= 1:1.0.0.79~ds-2) but it is not installable
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
It seems that there is an issue with the dependency steam-libs-i386. I have checked for solutions online, but haven’t found a fix yet. Could someone please provide guidance on how to resolve this issue and successfully install Steam on my system?
Here’s the command I used to add the i386 architecture:
“`
dpkg –add-architecture i386
Here's some additional information about my system:
