Research direction

Start by reproducing the mintupgrade 21.3-to-22 downgrade step using the shown apt-get command and its i386 graphics package set. Investigate why libdrm-nouveau2:i386 and libdecor-0-0:i386 are unavailable; done means the upgrade no longer stops on these unmet dependencies.

Description

Getting stuck at "downgrade packages". I suspect it has something to do with Steam, since I don't know why all these 32 bit graphics packages would be there otherwise.
