Comment:
Following this has fixed the issue, it would be a good idea to warn the user about these packages and on what repo they are on when installing steam through XBPS. https://wiki.voidlinux.org/voidlinux_en_all_2021-04/A/Steam

Comment:
this is documented in the standard place for package-specific documentation (`/usr/share/doc/<pkgname>/README.voidlinux`) and [in the handbook](https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/external-applications.html#steam)

do not rely on the wiki, that is a snapshot of what it used to contain but has been long-since deprecated.
