I can confirm the problem: in a bionic chroot, I install chromium-
browser and make sure libx11-xcb1 isn't installed (in a minimal chroot
without a desktop environment it isn't), then I start chromium in
headless mode and this is what I'm seeing:
$ chromium-browser --headless http://example.org

After installing libx11-xcb1, this is what I'm seeing:
$ chromium-browser --headless http://example.org
[0317/172211.239945:WARNING:headless_content_main_delegate.cc(530)] Cannot
create Pref Service with no user data dir.
[0317/172211.242524:ERROR:bus.cc(393)] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed
to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
and the process exits successfully. If I add the --dump-dom parameter I
can confirm that the page that was requested was correctly fetched and
parsed.
Now the problem isn't that the dependency was removed, in fact chromium
88 didn't depend on libx11-xcb1 and I just confirmed in the same chroot
that it worked well in headless mode without it. It's the opposite
indeed: this is a new requirement, and I'm investigating to figure out
why the dependency wasn't automatically added.

Title:
Dependency removed on chromium-browser
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi,
This morning we noticed that in the latest version of chromium-browser on
18.04 (89.0.4389.82-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) the dependency on libx11-xcb1 was removed.
This caused our use-case with chromium-browser to break.
For now we install libx11-xcb1 separately, but this seems like a breaking
change.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Release: 18.04
Thanks and best regards,
Alexander Deruwe
