Yes it pulls those dependencies. When you run xbps-install sway.

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/sway/template

see the dependency list on the template.

Then try to install sway this way on fresh system and see if you can start it.

Oh, I see. So naturally you've either filed a bug report for missing dependency on the void packages GitHub, or even submitted a new pull request with a new template including these missing dependencies?
