Description:

This package requires zenity to be installed... but it is optional.
In the script (/usr/bin/steam), it defines a function "show_message()", which checks for zenity and if you don't have it installed it uses a text file as the output then shows it in a terminal window.
This task depends upon

Have they released a new package where this is possible for? Because with the steam-runtime stuff in the packaged version I was pretty certain you had to
have zenity to accept the license, before it would download the newer one.

I can check this weekend probably, but if you can confirm that it works with vanilla steam, I will just go ahead and package it as an optdepend.

Ah yes, my apologies - for 99% of the stuff, they call their show_message() function which zenity would be optional... but there are some additional hardcoded zenity usages :(

You can close this as "invalid" or whatever :)
