I had installed anki before and I did a system upgrade and it stopped working. I have tried reinstalling pyqt 5 and 6 probably in the wrong way but I’m still getting an error. I tried a couple of things but at one point it gave me a different error, something about a QT6 server. Sorry for my sloppy error tracking. All help is appreciated!
