chromium-93.0.4577.82-r0 crashes without gtk+3.0

I've got a small fleet (about 20) of Alpine "Webkiosks".
The setup is done via ansible, the big picture looks like this:
The user is logged in automatically via inittab tty1::respawn:/bin/login -f webkiosk, runs startx via ~/.profile and in turn chromium via ~/.xinitrc.
On shutdown, ~/.cache/chromium and ~/.config/chromium are deleted.

I've ran apk update; apk upgrade and chromium on my Alpine 3.14 installs got updated to chromium-93.0.4577.82-r0.
Since then, chromium crashes with this error:

This is reproducible on all 3.14 machines, including a fresh test install, and on Alpine edge.
The hardware is rather diverse across the about 20 machines, but all of them have a touchscreen - not sure if this is relevant.
While I start chromium with a few parameters in my script, the crash is reproducible when chromium is called simply as chromium-browser https://google.com.
I've taken to downgrading the machines to 3.13, chromium-86.0.4240.111-r0 available there is not affected.

It seems to be a missing dependency, a workaround is to manually apk add gtk+3.0

Jep, that did it. Running fine after installing gtk+3.0.
I'll leave the ticket open until it's fixed in the package itself, i guess.

@ncopa what does # explicit depends for --headless mean?

changed title from chromium-93.0.4577.82-r0 crashes on startup to chromium-93.0.4577.82-r0 should depend on gtk+3.0

still broken in 3.15 3 months later

So write a patch. It's a simple fix. If you want it changed, you're the most motivated person to take on the task.

I just have no idea what to do in the patch. Resolved by installing gtk+3.0 package after 5 hours of wtf.

@ddevault could you not berate random users that report broken things? you can't expect everyone to know how to fix alpine packaging dependencies

It was already known to be broken. I see nothing wrong with encouraging users to write a patch. It seems more insulting to me to assume that a user wouldn't be able to learn how to do so.
