I have executed readelf -d against the elf files in this package. Turns out that there are a few dependencies missing:
/opt/google/earth/pro/libQt5Network.so.5 needs libproxy.so.1
/opt/google/earth/pro/libQt5WebKit.so.5 needs libgstreamer-1.0.so.0
/opt/google/earth/pro/libQt5WebKit.so.5 needs libgstapp-1.0.so.0
/opt/google/earth/pro/libQt5WebKit.so.5 needs libgstbase-1.0.so.0
/opt/google/earth/pro/libQt5WebKit.so.5 needs libgstpbutils-1.0.so.0
/opt/google/earth/pro/libQt5WebKit.so.5 needs libgstvideo-1.0.so.0
/opt/google/earth/pro/libQt5WebKit.so.5 needs libgstaudio-1.0.so.0
/opt/google/earth/pro/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 needs libXi.so.6
/opt/google/earth/pro/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 needs libfontconfig.so.1
/opt/google/earth/pro/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 needs libfreetype.so.6
/opt/google/earth/pro/plugins/audio/libqtaudio_alsa.so needs libasound.so.2
/opt/google/earth/pro/plugins/printsupport/libcupsprintersupport.so needs libcups.so.2
The missing libraries can be found in:
'libproxy' 'gst-plugins-base-libs' 'libxi' 'fontconfig' 'alsa-lib' 'libcups'
Furthermore, namcap says that 'ld-lsb' and 'nss' are not needed even though I'm not sure about that
google-earth-pro W: Dependency included and not needed ('ld-lsb')
google-earth-pro W: Dependency included and not needed ('nss')

I will not update (for now) to the latest version 7.3.6.9326 because it crashes continuously for me.
