Dependancy hell while reinstalling steam

Steam is not working, tried reinstalling but I ended in dependancy hell. After that screen I get 32-bit libGL.so.1 file missing. Any advice here? I have tried fixing broken packages, reinstalling nvidia driver, reinstalling mesa drivers, install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 library,tried to revert broken packages with aptitude to older versions-all failed. Using Lubuntu 22.04.2 Graphic card is Nvidia gtx 850m.

Tried Symantec broken packages repair, no go, no hold packages from grep, no packages from apt install --simulate ./downloaded-deb-file.deb, no strange beings in source list, sudo apt install/purge approach almost destroyed my OS as it purged hundreds of files, but lucky they have recovered.

Currently although grep doesn't show me hold packages, apt get-update get-upgrade is: mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers:i386 mesa-vdpau-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 When I do: $ sudo apt-mark unhold mesa-va-drivers mesa-va-drivers:i386 mesa-vdpau-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 It returns to me as the packages are already marked as not hold... they are hold and not hold in the same time?

apt policy libeg1 return:

Copy & pasting your actual messages into your question would have been helpful; I see you've provided a picture of the text messages, alas that's harder to read & I can't copy/paste from it to look up details, thus I'll move on - you can look up details yourself though as you have access to the text messages you provided a picture of.

Does this answer your question? [Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages](https://askubuntu.com/questions/223237/unable-to-correct-problems-you-have-held-broken-packages)

Sadly those are from Steam installer. If I try to copy that I'm closing the window in the process. Data from terminal when running steam in it doesn't bring me such details.

You appear to have ppa(s) installed on your system (oibaf) that are the root cause of the problem. After all you have done, I am not sure there is much hope, but you could copy and paste the output of `apt policy libegl1` into your question.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
