I'm having some dependency trouble trying to install steam on Ubuntu 14.04. I got the steam-launcher.deb-Package from http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb and installed it:
eva@eva-ubuntu:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg --install steam_latest.deb
Vormals nicht ausgewähltes Paket steam-launcher wird gewählt.

Starting steam gives the following:
eva@eva-ubuntu:~/Downloads$ steam

and opens a new terminal window with
Steam needs to install these additional packages:
libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386, libc6:i386

Einige Pakete konnten nicht installiert werden. Das kann bedeuten, dass
Sie eine unmögliche Situation angefordert haben oder, wenn Sie die
Unstable-Distribution verwenden, dass einige erforderliche Pakete noch
nicht erstellt wurden oder Incoming noch nicht verlassen haben.
Die folgenden Informationen helfen Ihnen vielleicht, die Situation zu lösen:
Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 : Hängt ab von: libglapi-mesa:i386 (= 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3)
unity-control-center : Hängt ab von: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) soll aber nicht installiert werden
Hängt ab von: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) soll aber nicht installiert werden
E: Fehler: Unterbrechungen durch pkgProblemResolver::Resolve hervorgerufen; dies könnte durch zurückgehaltene Pakete verursacht worden sein.
Press return to continue:
After closing the additional terminal window, inside the first I get:
Package libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 needs to be installed
Package libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 needs to be installed
Package libc6:i386 needs to be installed

It also pops up a window saying I'm missing the 32-bit version of libGL1.so.1. and tries to start steam, which fails.
Previously I also did
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
as proposed by How do I install Steam 64-bit when package dependencies cannot be resolved?.
I don't have any PPAs installed, my current /etc/apt/sources.list is:

Somehow, the whole situation looks kind of ridiculous, because the two libcheese packages already seem to be installed, shown by dpkg -l | grep libcheese:
ii libcheese-gtk23:amd64 3.10.2-0ubuntu2 amd64 tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - widgets
ii libcheese7:amd64 3.10.2-0ubuntu2 amd64 tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam - base library
Maybe the error happens because those are not 32bit?
I would appreciate any help!

Try this, just a simulation, nothing will actually happen -
sudo apt-get -s install libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic:i386If it looks ok then re-run the command but remove the
-sto actually installIf it is questionable or fails then post the terminal output, either here in your question or in a pastebin like - http://paste.ubuntu.com/ or http://pastebin.com/ & add link to your question
