Broken steam dependencies, refuses to install

zlatko49 · December 27, 2021, 5:51pm

Trying to install steam, after enabling rpm repository etc, sudo dnf install steam returns
Problem: conflicting requests

package steam-1.0.0.72-1.fc35.i686 requires libcurl(x86-32), but none of the providers can be installed
package steam-1.0.0.74-1.fc35.i686 requires libcurl(x86-32), but none of the providers can be installed
package libcurl-7.78.0-3.fc35.i686 requires libnghttp2.so.14, but none of the providers can be installed
package libcurl-minimal-7.78.0-3.fc35.i686 requires libnghttp2.so.14, but none of the providers can be installed
package libcurl-7.79.1-1.fc35.i686 requires libnghttp2.so.14, but none of the providers can be installed
package libcurl-minimal-7.79.1-1.fc35.i686 requires libnghttp2.so.14, but none of the providers can be installed
package libnghttp2-1.45.1-1.fc35.i686 is filtered out by modular filtering
(try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages)

I am very lost on what to do in order to fix these broken packages

Are you trying to install from terminal; e.g., sudo dnf install steam?

If so, did you add the rpmfusion repo with sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm?

zlatko49 · December 27, 2021, 6:05pm

Yes & Yes!

bryanmoore · December 27, 2021, 6:09pm

Got it… Have you upgraded the system lately? An error like that can, sometimes, be caused by an out-of-date system. If you’re all up-to-date, have you tried the flatpak version of Steam?

Also, Fedora 35 doesn’t seem to have the 32-bit package, just 64-bit…

zlatko49 · December 27, 2021, 6:13pm

No, i am fully up to date. I have tried using the flatpak version which gets me through to a working steam, but that gives me issues with proton-ge not being installed as well as my second hard drive (where all my games are installed) not being recognised by steam when installed this way.

bryanmoore · December 27, 2021, 6:21pm

Understood. I’m not sure why the required libcurl version is 32, perhaps someone else might be able to shed light on that.

For the flatpak issues, have you seen this project; it looks like it will fix your proton-ge issue. You can then address the directory limitations by using Flatseal—flatpak install flatseal—which will allow you to give Steam access to additional directories, like your external drive.

Do you use modules? What is the output of:

sudo dnf module list

Use the Flatpak version, you will have less headache.

grumpey · December 28, 2021, 3:23am

… I was able to install this with flatpak from flat hub.

…

flatpak install com.valvesoftware.Steam.CompatibilityTool.Proton-GE

https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam.CompatibilityTool.Proton-GE

It’s not an official build

bryanmoore · December 28, 2021, 1:57pm

Just circling back, @zlatko49; were you able to get things up and running?

computersavvy · December 28, 2021, 5:35pm

Just stepping in to this.
Have you tried sudo dnf install steam --allowerasing ?
That may fix the issue.
I have installed steam on both Fedora 34 & 35 and both work well when installed from the rpmfusion repo.
Looking at what you have posted I think this is likely the clue and fixing that would solve the install issue.
package libnghttp2-1.45.1-1.fc35.i686 is filtered out by modular filtering (try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages)

Have you looked here? It may have the solution for you.

zlatko49 · December 28, 2021, 11:22pm

Hi, i issued sudo dnf install steam --allowerasing

Error:

(try to add ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages)

in regards to the second part about libnghttp2, i have installed and reinstalled all the packages that come up but it doesn’t seem to change the output of trying to install steam, id love to use the flatpak but my secondary hard drive is still not coming up after trying flatseal.

zlatko49 · December 28, 2021, 11:23pm

I can get steam working through flatpak and a slightly older version of proton ge which im not too worried about but i can’t exactly play my games because flatseal isn’t fixing my previous issue with flatpak steam where i can’t get it to access my second hdd.

oprizal · December 29, 2021, 2:43am

Please try to install:

sudo dnf install libcurl-7.79.1-1.fc35.i686

It will include the libnghttp2 package as dependencies.

If you already installed both packages, try with:

sudo dnf reinstall libcurl-7.79.1-1.fc35.i686

Update:

Turn out when I install both libcurl and libcurl-minimal it make conflict (immediately I edit my suggestion above). I check on my system with installed steam it only have libcurl.i686 and libcurl.x86_64 with version above for .i686.

computersavvy · December 29, 2021, 5:31am

It might give us some more info to use if you were to post the output of sudo dnf repolist . The link I posted above showed that there was a conflicting repo enabled that triggered the modular filtering error.

oprizal · December 29, 2021, 6:44am

@computersavvy so it’s about modular packages. I’m not familiar with those kind of things. May be you could also check here and may be it would help @zlatko49.

bryanmoore · December 29, 2021, 1:52pm

Can you share how you entered the path to your external hd in Flatseal?

grumpey · December 29, 2021, 3:18pm

The conflict appears to be with the nodejs module and steam

you could try:
sudo dnf module disable nodejs
sudo dnf install steam
sudo dnf module install nodejs:16/development

you’d want to check your environment afterwards to make sure everything is working.

If you’re interested in running the flatpak, I’d check what @bryanmoore said regarding the path. You may need to use /run/media/ or other file path in flat seal depending on where you’re mounting it.

Depending on what you are doing, you may also consider running nodejs in a toolbox or other container to keep it separate.

edit:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1778327

If you install with the module disabled, it will complain during updates that it can’t install the best version. (same problem in reverse)
