Bug Description
I noticed the following community member had a problem installing steam. I reproduced it on 16.04.3 clean install i386 and amd64.
https:/
Install 16.04 amd64 or i386
Install all updates via software updater
Open Ubuntu Software
Search for steam.
No results for Steam found.
Yet steam is in the repository as an i386 deb - but it doesn't show up in Ubuntu Software on either amd64 or i386 installs.
