Please make sure that you don’t have Qt or PyQt installations other than
the one from Debian packages. You can check that by running python3 command
and typing this:

>>> import PyQt5
>>> print(PyQt5.__path__)

If the output is different from ['/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt5'],
then you have an installation that is conflicting with distro packages and
removing it will most likely resolve the problem.

Also you can try to look where PyQt expects the executables to be:

>>> from PyQt5.QtCore import QLibraryInfo
>>> QLibraryInfo.location(QLibraryInfo.LibraryExecutablesPath)

In any case, this command should also help:

  export QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/libexec
