Description HansHelm 2021-03-21 21:11:07 UTC

After successfully emerging mypaint I have trouble getting the package started.
It crashes immediately  with the following error window:

```python
Mypaint version: 2.0.1+gitexport.478280f

Traceback (most recent call last):

Can you please provide:
1) emerge --info

2) emerge -pvO libmypaint mypaint mypaint-brushes

3) Run "mypaint" in a Terminal and copy/paste the full output into a text file?

If this is still happening.. does installing (emerge -v1 for now) dev-python/cairocffi help?
