Can't install steam or the mesa libs

I’m trying to install steam, but the message shows a warning of various dependencies, even when attempting to install via the mesa libraries. I do not know what to do to install the software.

Make sure that multilib is enabled in /etc/pacman.conf

If it isn’t, you may have overwritten your pacman.conf and no longer have an EOS /etc/pacman.conf. If that is the case, you need to fix that.

my multilib is enabled in the pacman.conf

[multilib-testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

What option is this?

Sorry, I meant “Even when attempt to install via the mesa libraries” :sweat_smile:

Cool just wanted to clarify I wasn’t missing anything out

Why do you have the testing repo enabled?

Can we see your entire /etc/pacman.conf

I probably enabled it while trying to enable the right section lol

Here is the config


#

#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

I’ll try disable the testing repo and see if it works

Yeah, you shouldn’t enable only one one of the testing repos like that.

I’m feeling very dumb right now, that was the answer…

It was because i had the testing repo active. Thank You!

Only dumb if you don’t remember in future lol, I have been pretty dumb a lot
