Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 steam:i386 : Depends: libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 (>= 17.3) but it is not going to be installed or
                       libtxc-dxtn0:i386 but it is not installable

              Recommends: nvidia-driver-libs-i386:i386 but it is not installable

AFTER

Steam needs to install these additional packages: 
    libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386

So... when i try to install these packages there are troubles too.

  1. If you haven't customized your Ubuntu installation, you should install Steam by downloading a .deb package provided by Valve here.

    Select Open File. Ubuntu Software will launch. Click on Install, enter your password if you are prompted to, and you're done here. Steam should be installed.
