Hello,

I've recently tried to install chromium into a container (with xvfb, for
testing purposes). But after trying to run it, it fails with abort.

After some digging into it, I've managed to figure out (using strace)
that it fails to load any toolkit library. However, the error message
given is complete trash and not helpful at all (this one is on chromium,
not alpine).

I would like to send a patch fixing this, since this is not very
user-friendly behavior (and for normal user very hard to figure out).
However, since it (as far as I can tell) works with both gtk+3.0 and
gtk4.0 packages as dependencies, I'm not sure what the patch should look
like.

As far as I know APKBUILD does not have a construct along the lines of
"one of these two packages". Would it be fine to just always use
gtk+3.0? Or gtk4.0? Opinions?

Thanks,

W.
