media-gfx/freecad sets the PYTHONPATH environment variable globally. Some other packages, such as games-puzzle/brainworkshop, honour this variable. This can lead to fatal execution errors. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install media-gfx/freecad-0.19.2-r6 2. Install games-puzzle/brainworkshop 3. Start games-puzzle/brainworkshop Actual Results: Actual output and behaviour: /usr/bin/brainworkshop:44: DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses import random, os, sys, imp, socket, webbrowser, time, math, traceback, datetime, errno python3.9: /var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/freecad-0.19.2-r6/work/FreeCAD-0.19.2/src/Base/BaseClass.cpp:97: static void Base::BaseClass::initSubclass(Base::Type&, const char*, const char*, Base::Type::instantiationMethod): Assertion `parentType != Base::Type::badType()' failed. Expected Results: Expected output and behaviour: /usr/bin/brainworkshop:44: DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses import random, os, sys, imp, socket, webbrowser, time, math, traceback, datetime, errno and brainworkshop starts normally. If I unset PYTHONPATH: $ unset PYTHONPATH both freecad and brainworkshop start normally. Is it really necessary to set this variable?
Thanks for the report. In earlier versions, the variable was needed, or freecad would not start properly, but it looks like that's no longer the case. Running the internal test suite, leads to the same results with and without the variable set, so I assume it's indeed no longer needed. I'm gonna remove it from the package.

Also, AddonManager plugin now needs webchannel and webengine support for pyside2, thus the USEDEP string has been updated to include USE flags for these.
