[Bug 1428243] [NEW] package libc6-x32 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 failed to install/upgrade: package libc6-x32 is already installed and configured

[Deve]

Public bug reported:

I'm new to Ubuntu, which means I have no fu*king idea what i'm doing.
I tried to install steam on by 64bit machine but it wasn't working. I googled the error and found this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2242632
I then used "  sudo apt-get install '^libc6.*'  " which is entry #4 and ever since the error message appears, needless to say that steam still isn't working.
