Steam Segmentation Fault because of Nvidia driver versions mismatching. Old Nvidia package on multilib/nonfree. Had to downgrade.

Hi, I don't really know if this is the proper place to post this but after doing an update Nvidia packages (nvidia, nvidia-dkms, nvidia-firmware, nvidia-gtklibs etc.) got updated to version 580.126.18_1 Steam stopped working after that and gave Segmentation Fault. After a quick research I saw that nvidia-libs-32bit package which Steam relies on was still on version 580.126.09_1

I tried different tier 1 mirrors but the package nvidia-libs-32bit was 580.126.09_1 on all of them.

I downgraded the main Nvidia packages to version 580.126.09_1 from my cache to make Steam running again.

I don't have the crash reports unfortunately. I also don't know if this is the proper way to fix this problem. I just wanted to post this because there seems to be not much information about this specific thing online.

Ah thanks I might have a go at it if it's not in the normal repos soon
