Steam updated, now it won't start


This error is new to me and I'm not sure how to proceed. I just ran steam, it updated itself and then closed. Now when I run it I get the following:

Code:
Couldn't find dpkg, please update steamdeps for your distribution.
Running Steam on slackware 14.2 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1457636973)
libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
steamdeps.text:
Code:
# This should be set to the version of the Steam runtime that this program
# is built with.
# 
# Available values are:
#	1	- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
#
STEAM_RUNTIME=1
 
# This should be set to the version of the dependency file format
#
# The file can contain lines starting with #, blank lines and dependencies
# A dependency line consists of a package name for the current runtime,
# along with optional architecture or version requirements using the 
# Debian package syntax:
#   http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html
#
STEAM_DEPENDENCY_VERSION=1

# These are non-arch specific dependencies
curl
python-apt
xterm | gnome-terminal
xz-utils
zenity

# These are i386 dependencies for Steam itself
libgl1-mesa-dri:i386
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
libc6:i386
I don't know if reinstalling steam will help. I would try but I'm not sure if it will remove all my games when I uninstall it...
