So nothing at all to do with steam, you disabled the multilib repo while still having things installed from there. You can't do that.

Woops, I forgot to uncomment when I replace the pacman.conf with pacman.conf.pacnew

Ah, so nothing to do with the version of steam in the testing repo. Moving back to NC.

Please also stop using '-Syyu' habitually. '-Syu' is sufficient and doesn't put unnecessary stress on community resources.
