I installed steam through Mozilla Firefox and then this shows and anyone help me to fix this, it says Evaluating dependencies, The packages cache seems to be out of date, Press return to update the list of available packages: and what I do next
I want to install steam for playing games
- Thread starter Kingrjd
- Start date
Open the terminal and run the following:
Then try again. (I am figuring you've downloaded the .deb file and are trying to install from there.)
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -yThen try again. (I am figuring you've downloaded the .deb file and are trying to install from there.)
after you have run the update above you will find the distribution approved build of steam in the Mint software manager

Oh and welcome to the forums
What distro are you using? Apt is the package manager for Debian-based distros, but not every distro is based on Debian, and may use different package managers. Steam should be available in most distro repositories, and should be installed using the package manager. Most distros include a GUI package manager/software center, which can be used for installing Steam or other packages. Using Firefox for installing Steam or other packages is not the best idea in most cases.
he is in the Mint forum.
