I've been wondering if I haven't been getting updates properly.
Last semester (May or so) I was using Steam and playing games just fine. I hadn't used GNU-Linux over the summer, and over the last week I've been trying to get back to using it because of school; however to my shock, none of the games worked anymore, because of this error: "bin/sh: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /home/bill/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so)".
Why would Steam increase their libc version requirement, and more importantly, why is my install still stuck on 2.13 even though Debian testing is way up at 2.17?
The following is my /etc/apt/sources.list:
