[edge] recent upgrade broke sxmo-sway: missing libvulkan.so.1

changed the description

We also have a user reporting the same problem on a pinephone pro, so the issue seems not to be limited to oneplus-enchilada

I also notice that the soc-qcom-vulkan package provides no files? (apk manifest is empty). Maybe something wrong in the packaging here?

Okay, I found a solution to install libvulkan.so.1 again:

Both vulkan-loader-1.3.296.0-r0 and electron-33 seem to claim to provide libvulkan.so.1 but didn't really? No idea why the latter would provide such a system-wide package anyhow. I had the electron installed and therefore vulkan-loader didn't want to install because it conflicts.

To remedy the situation and get a booting sxmo again I did:

$ sudo apk add vulkan-loader soc-qcom-vulkan   #on other systems you'll might need another -vulkan package targeted for your soc
$ sudo apk del signal-desktop  #remove stuff that uses electron
$ sudo apk del --force-broken-world electron
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  crc32c electron electron-lang hdrhistogram-c libbase64
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  vulkan-loader
After this operation, 241 MiB of disk space will be freed.

OK: 5948 MiB in 2271 packages
$ sudo rc-service tinydm restart

This reinstalls libvulkan.so.1 and makes sway start again.

This should probably be solved more elegantly on the package level, but at least this is a workaround.

Both Chromium and Electron do provide libvulkan.so.1: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/contents?file=libvulkan.so.1&path=&name=&branch=edge&repo=&arch=

But they put it in a different location than vulkan-loader and I couldn't tell you why they do this.

added graphics release-edge ui-sway ui-sxmo labels

added status::confirmed label

Could you report this in Alpine's aports?

I ran into a likely related issue trying to install both signal-desktop (which depends on electron) and telegram-desktop (which requires vulkan) on phosh/systemd/edge/beryllium. Both got installed but telegram-desktop didn't launch, so I tried installing some vulkan package which I can't recall the name of (maybe soc-qcom-vulkan? *845* doesn't return hits). After a reboot phosh did start, but most apps didn't, including the terminal so I don't have logs – will try to fish them out when I find the time (anyone have a guide for chrooting from debug-shell with fde?). Aisleriot, signal-desktop and firefox-esr did keep working.
