Typical technician's syndrome. The last time I was here, I got all the way to
putting in the URL in the repos section of synaptic (graphical), & it claimed
the URL didn't exist. This time around I got this message: 

The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https could not be found. 

So I installed that and this time everything went smoothly. 

But now my major concern is Multiarch, since Steam uses 32-bit code (and I have
a 64-bit system). The reference page implied that since wine-builds does not at
present use source code, I wouldn't have worry about compilation - and
compilation is only mentioned in reference to Multiarch. Does 'add-architecture
i386' simply augment Wine's functionality - or is it part of Multiarch and more
involved?

After my last post, I thought I'd install the Debian version of Steam - until I
kept getting error messages because of useless drivers Valve included (e.g.
libgcc++, etc.). A web search showed dozens 'solutions' marked "SOLVED" on
message boards which indicated the best answer was to remove said files. Until
my browser stopped loading and not even apt-get worked in the terminal. So I
had reinstall everything -from scratch - the OS too. 

So - thank you, Ms. R.
