Then you'd have to provide all needed libraries yourself. What would else happen if some game needed libpng12.so.0 and "apt autoremove" just removed it after the 1.6 transition ? $ locate libpng12.so.0 /home/tchet/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 /home/tchet/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0.46.0 /home/tchet/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 /home/tchet/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0.46.0 The "Steam Runtime" is basically some old ubuntu LTS rootfs.
