When I manually created the folder and ran the steam executable, the clientregistry.blob file was written to the folder and all is well with the world again

Thank you! I was having this problem too and couldn't figure out how to fix it. By going into the ./root/.steam directory and deleting ClientRegistry.blob, it fixed the problem and allowed me to update without getting the segmentation fault.

DO NOT delete the .steam folder. If the folder doesn't exist, create it! simples (although not so obvious to us noobs.)

Will trye that on my server. I havent been able to update it for two weeks now. Earlier i deleted the intire folder. Will trye now to only delete the blob file.
