    Dependencies for Steam

    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

    :: installing lib32-libjpeg-turbo (3.0.4-2) breaks dependency 'lib32-libjpeg' required by lib32-mjpegtools
    

    But in all honesty, I just can’t be bothered to fix it.

    My general tactic is to wait until things get fixed… has worked for many years, no longer it seems. Before this I also got bit by an nVidia/systemd issue (won’t always wake from suspend) that I did try to fix and updates didn’t help either so instead I just shut my computer down now. EDIT: This seems fixed now, too

    It also does not help that I have 6mb/s internet (shared with other people) thus cannot really update frequently (and thus not auto-update). This isn’t even my original install either, the re-install didn’t help as long as I hoped.

    I probably need to switch to something else, but packaging/updating always seems flawed. I tried Tumbleweed a while back, but was quickly annoyed by patterns and did not like the suggested work-around.

    TL;DR: It me

        Alright, trying it. I don’t use Flatpak for anything else because of updating, but Steam updates itself anyway so that shouldn’t be a factor.

        EDIT: I forgot dependencies are a bit rough (almost 2GiB total) because sandboxing, so that might’ve been a bigger factor before

        Re-installing worked, so I am not sure what happened with the dependency solver (hopefully this doesn’t happen again soon). Though I am almost to the point Steam wouldn’t be such a big loss especially if I can still play a few DRM-free games already downloaded.
