steamcmd CentOS 7 Bug?

[Kruz]

I previously had steamcmd installed on my personal box which was running Fedora. I repurposed the box, so I installed it on my server running CentOS 6, but half of the game servers I was trying to run were complaining about the out of date libraries. I didn't want to run multiple docker instances for each of my game servers, so I moved all of my data to an external drive and installed CentOS 7.

I was following the wiki to install steamcmd on my box, just like before:
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Manually

I keep getting this error upon running the script:
ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "public/steambootstrapper_english.txt".

I did some digging and it seems to be failing a checksum of some type:

This is a snippet of my strace running it as the steam user from the /home/steam/Steam directory:

I figured maybe something needed to be linked or it couldn't find a file because valve seems to mainly support Ubuntu/Debian:
[steam@prometheus Steam]$ find -name steambootstrapper_english.txt
./package/tmp/public/steambootstrapper_english.txt
[steam@prometheus Steam]$ ln -s ./package/tmp/public ./public
[steam@prometheus Steam]$ ./steamcmd.sh
Redirecting stderr to '/home/steam/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'
Looks like steam didn't shutdown cleanly, scheduling immediate update check
FS_stat on file ./public/steambootstrapper_english.txt which appeared to exist failed!!!

I thought, maybe it doesn't like the symlink, so let me find the zip it downloaded and extract it myself:
[steam@prometheus Steam]$ cp package/steamcmd_public_all.zip.baf9204247ef82ebf9610ed2fc5967880c9d1a07 ./
[steam@prometheus Steam]$ rm public

Still, it failed and here's the snippet of the strace:

Before attempting to strace this myself, I checked Google and the developer wiki. I found people that run into normal issues like, firewalls, open file limits, and font issues. I'm running a headless install of CentOS 7 on a Dell R710 with 32GB of RAM and over 10TB of free space.

I tried removing all of the directories in the /home/steam/Steam directory and the hidden .config .cache directories in /home/steam. There was no /home/steam/.steam directory. I redownloaded the tarball using wget and curl to the same issue.



If anyone knows how to resolve this issue or how to submit a bug report to valve as I can't find any official contact information for steamcmd, that would be great.

-Feeling very defeated.


Thank you,

Just an update:

I figured I'd try to install manually on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I spun up a cloud server as I didn't want to install Ubuntu on my dedicated server. Turns out, Ubuntu is throwing the same error. Glad it's not just a CentOS thing. Looks like it might be something up with the manual installer.
