I was getting this, too. Joining the Steam Client Beta fixed it. |

Make sure both the bootstrapper (steam you installed from the repo) and the client are up to date, these files should exist for you. |

I had opted out manually while attempting to fix something else. Everything's working now, though. |

Had the same problem and can confirm that upgrading steam worked. If you installed the package locally manually, e.g. through dpkg --install, you have to install the new version again: http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb |

I had the latest version of steam launcher and client (updated both today) and was in the beta, according to the Settings dialog. I encountered this problem trying to launch Half-Life. Symlinking ~/.steam/sdk32/ to ~/.steam/bin32/ has worked around the issue and the game now launches. |
