  Original Report
  ===============
  I downloaded Ubuntu 13.10 32bit daily build. I installed it on newly created filesystem.  I updated it via sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. I added to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list link to debug symbols. I updated and upgraded. I installed apport-retrace and suggested packages. I restarted system. I downloaded .deb file of steam from official valve page. I wanted to install steam, so I clicked on .deb, then I confirmed that deb is trustworthly, and it is the point where crash occured. But window of software-center there is still visible and I could continue the installation.
