not really able to verify that the 19.09 package is broken, I think the FHSenv is stateful, and don't know how to clear it completely from my computer

Not sure what to say @jonringer... Sorry for merging the previous PR I guess. I tested the previous PR and it fixed my broken steam. Kids were happy. I thought we had a winner...

Mildly curious what the issue is.

I have a case where this seems to have broken a game. "DOTA Underlords" seems to expect a 64bit version of libva.so but now with this commit merged it fails to start. I guess if we just add the other lib it clashes? What are our options? Is there some way to have 32bit only LD_LIBRARY_PATH that contains those libs needed for 32bit systems?

That's interesting, as steam won't launch if this is missing. It might be possible to have both present. But I'm not sure

Steam did launch after reverting this. I am not entirely sure what is going on :/

I had that issue with Dota Underlords, reverted this commit and could finally launch the game. Steam is working fine.

It's a FTP game, I'll try myself
