That's what's used to generate the SIP bindings.

python3-pyqtbuild, python3-sipbuild, and sip-tools are used for sip6 
instead of python3-sip-dev & python3-sip.

sip6 is the source package, not one of its binary packages:

  https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/sip6

I applied these changes:

 
https://git.linuxminded.nl/?p=pkg-grass/qgis;a=commitdiff;h=ce78563091b57c25e5ab5294d5b8eb28412370e6
 
https://git.linuxminded.nl/?p=pkg-grass/qgis;a=commitdiff;h=e7456d3d58fd30d80dd6564accdf1294ca682fcc

But as mentioned before, it's not sufficient to fix the qgis build.

It takes about 3 hours to build qgis on my system, and since this 
failures happens at 97% it takes a lot of time to troubleshoot this issue.

I had hoped that 3.16.13 would have fixed this, but it contains no 
relevant changes. Many of the changes mentioned in the ChangeLog seem to 
have been reverted, see:

Kind Regards,
