Games become "installed" without having been downloaded

[mkszuba]

There are several Linux games I own on Steam which persistently refuse to install correctly, regardless of the machine. When I ask steam to install one of these, in the place where one can normally see information about how big the installed game will be and how much free space the currently-selected library folder has got, there is NOTHING. Not even "installed size: 0". Then once I've got to the "Steam is now downloading X" stage, the "download" finishes immediately (because there isn't one). Needless to say, clicking on the now-available "Play" button results in an error.

Among the games I have seen displaying this problem are "Psychonauts" and "LIMBO", I'll post more names later once I've got my hands of one of my Linux boxes.

Duplicate of #28, there are a few remaining titles that appear in your library incorrectly ‐ they do not have an active Steam Linux install, yet.
