# Helps fix: WARNING: Failed to load 32-bit libtinfo.so.5 or libncurses.so.5.
# On distros that ship libtinfo.so.6 (e.g. Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+) but not
# libtinfo.so.5, SteamCMD prints this warning and loses readline support.
# Creating a symlink from .so.5 -> .so.6 resolves the warning without root.
