    Hi,

    Im trying to setup experimental server on linux by following this guide.
    However the app_update step produces a timeout:

    Code:
    Steam Console Client (c) Valve Corporation
    -- type 'quit' to exit --
    Loading Steam API...OK.
    
    Steam>login anonymous
    
    Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...Logged in OK
    Waiting for license info...OK
    
    Steam>app_update 258550 -beta experimental validate
     Update state (0x0) : Timed out waiting for update to start, bailing.
    Success! App '258550' fully installed.
    
    Steam>
    Regardless of the success message no dedicated server files are being downloaded.

    I've ruled out firewall problems by checking the policies:
    Code:
    $ sudo iptables -L|grep policy
    Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
    Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
    Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
    And by trying to app_update a different game (l4d2):
    Code:
    Steam Console Client (c) Valve Corporation
    -- type 'quit' to exit --
    Loading Steam API...OK.
    
    Steam>login anonymous
    
    Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...Logged in OK
    Waiting for license info...OK
    
    Steam>app_update 222860
     Update state (0x3) reconfiguring, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0)
     Update state (0x61) downloading, progress: 0.49 (40186125 / 8144583860)
     Update state (0x61) downloading, progress: 0.52 (42724734 / 8144583860)
     Update state (0x61) downloading, progress: 0.60 (49004100 / 8144583860)
    -- snip --
    A look at Rust dedicated server in steamdb shows that the linux depot has a size of 0 bytes.

    This is also confirmed by file steamapps/appmanifest_258550.acf:
    Code:
    "AppState"
    {
            "AppID"         "258550"
            "Universe"              "1"
            "name"          "Rust Dedicated Server"
            "StateFlags"            "4"
            "installdir"            "rust_dedicated"
            "LastUpdated"           "1419261627"
            "UpdateResult"          "0"
            "SizeOnDisk"            "0"
            "buildid"               "478407"

            "BytesToDownload"               "0"
            "BytesDownloaded"               "0"
            "AutoUpdateBehavior"            "0"
            "AllowOtherDownloadsWhileRunning"               "0"
            "UserConfig"
            {
                    "betakey"               "experimental"
            }
            "MountedDepots"
            {
                    "258552"                "9185221819162500208"
            }
    }
    Is it suposed to be 0 Bytes ? Am i missing something or is the dedicated linux server build system broken?

    Thank you in advance.
