@ptr1337 Can you please point a real issue that happens without having these libraries installed in the 32-bit drivers? There is an enormous difference in the installed files between nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils packages, as the later installs much fewer things. Since we are in a 64-bit environment, not everything is needed by the 32-bit package. For example, the 32-bit package does not install egl libraries related to wayland, and does not depend in such a lib32-egl-wayland. In the 32-bit drivers package, only some files related to hardware acceleration are installed (like opengl, opencl and vulkan), and not the entire suite of libraries that is shipped by the nvidia bundle. Also, notice that CachyOS is another operating system with their own packaging. If there is some broken program that depends on these libraries that you can point, or if the corresponding lib32-nvidia-utils repository package installs them in the future, then I will add it here.

@dbermond

For lib32 the new libs are also missing. Offical nvidia package when installing it with their installer, installs these too. https://github.com/CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS/commit/d24099a43d652902d895cea195c16f5ec3da402f#diff-70cebb51b62219597402300ce9d94d88153810de84fc353c999558b3beaad8ec

@blackratempire yes, you can use this package, as it provides lib32-nvidia-utils. You just need to install the other beta packages like nvidia-utils-beta, a beta kernel module and so on, to replace the other stable (non-beta) packages that you may have installed. You do not need to configure steam for this, but just manage your system accordingly.

lib32-nvidia-utils (non beta) is a dependency when installing Steam. Is there a way to configure such to use this beta package instead?

@loathingkernel This was missing in the package. It was not skipped intentionally. Package updated, thanks for reporting.

Why are you skipping libnvidia-allocator.so when installing libraries? It seems to be listed both here http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/545.23.06/README/installedcomponents.html and Arch's lib32-nvidia-utils package.
