Shouldn't it be "steam_latest.deb"? Did you download it from this site or from another?

from steam site, where they linked it on the main steampowered.com website.

apt-get install -f steam.deb

Did you try to install ia32-libs?
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

You're a boss man. I was trying to install arp-sk but had the same i386/amd64 issue and I see the only answer on a steam forum oO .
Thanks a lot dude.
