Hi Piet,

I'm not 100% sure if this is a good solution.

Installing sip with pip or pip3 means you are pulling sip-stuff from the python repo's, while I think it is preferred to keep plain Debian (python/sip) packages for compiling QGIS yourself.

I build on a aging system myself, so I'm not very aware of which sip I exactly use... but I cannot find a 'sip5' package, only sip5-doc and sip5-tools (both also not installed on my system...
Ah:
 `dpkg -S /usr/bin/sip`
tell's me it comes from sip-dev package (sip-dev/testing,testing,now 4.19.25+dfsg-1), so I think that is what I actually use to build QGIS...

The 'Debian control' file of QGIS [0] shows that (for the packaging build) there is a dependency on 'python3-sip', and:
 `apt show python3-sip`
show me that it's source comes from 'sip4'(!)... so maybe you installed sip5 via other sources?

I hope this is helpful...
