Steam Install Error on Ubuntu

[flibberdipper]

I'll let the screenshot do most of the talking. I tried it from the Software Center and it wouldn't go, and then I downloaded it from the Steam site, and I got the error in the screenshot below. Does anyone know a possible cause for this? And more importantly, how to fix it?

Try this in terminal: apt-get update && apt-get install curl

and then try to install Steam again.

Okay. I'll try it.

That didn't seem to work. Do you think I did something worng, because I typed in exactly what you put.

[Damikiller37]

I just thought that by doing the updates and installing curl just in case you don't have it will fix it

Are you running x64 Ubuntu?

Nope. 32-bit.

Working on getting the error from the Software Center...

This is the error I get when I try to install it directly from the Software Center.

I'm beginning to loose faith in this. I've looked elsewhere, but I'm so tired none of it makes sense.

this sounds silly: Have you tried contacting steam support or ubuntu support?

I feel like a doofus. I didn't even think about that. You'd think I would have.

more silly advice: try turning it off and on.

though I doubt that'll work in this scenario.

Nope. That's the first thing I did.
