[gimonchik]

steam crashes at startup and gives an error

You could use strace to trace the program and see what file read fails. From there you can investigate further.

This is fixed in https://github.com/shkhln/linuxulator-steam-utils/commit/dfdc34a17b4b98aa8ecbd40b3a0c2009927ba449. The trouble with the games/linux-steam-utils port is that any kind of breakage takes me a few days to notice and fix, then a few days for a committer to pick the update up, then a week (!) for a package to build and be pushed into a repository. Thus we have overall reaction time of 2-3 weeks, which can't be substantially improved.

(In addition to that I don't bother with updates for quarterly packages at all — too annoying.)
