~~Should this package move to using sdl3 or does Steam not support that yet?~~

My bad. That was just me not having multilib enabled

that is an issue from the steamcmd itself. i fixed it by adding this line to the hosts file (from this discussion)

yeah looks like lib32-sdl12-compat needs to be added to the dependencies

lib32-sdl2 and lib32-dbus are installed but you still get

$ steamcmd
Redirecting stderr to '/home/user/.local/share/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'
[  0%] Checking for available updates...
[----] Verifying installation...
[  0%] Downloading update...

src/tier0/threadtools.cpp (3690) : Assertion Failed: Illegal termination of worker thread 'Thread(0x0x58b8d660/0x0xf76b5b'

so that does not fix anything at all with those suggestions.

This package misses dependency lib32-dbus. Without lib32-dbus, steamcmd is unusable.

$ steamcmd
Redirecting stderr to '/home/user/.steam/logs/stderr.txt'
ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "public/steambootstrapper_english.txt".

threadtools.cpp (3294) : Assertion Failed: Illegal termination of worker thread 'Thread(0x0x5822b320/0x0xf7768a'

Installing lib32-dbus avoids this error, and allows steamcmd to make network connections.

0x5a17ed: The package bash is part of the group base and is expected to be installed. Any package from base (and make dependencies from base-devel) are not required to be included as per the packaging guidelines on the wiki.

0x5a17ed commented on 2021-11-13 10:25 (UTC)

The package providing bash is not declared as a dependency in the PKGBUILD file. It's required to execute the steamcmd.sh command.

excerpt from the steamcmd.sh file:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

Steamcmd often complains that Warning: failed to init SDL thread priority manager: SDL not found. Should SDL be made into a dependency?

Current MD5 is 09e3f75c1ab5a501945c8c8b10c7f50e, crashhandler.so and steamerrorreporter are not present anymore.
