how did you search?
did you try to google for "pyqt debian"?

that gives me this as first result:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pyqt5

you could try to install some of these, maybe starting with python3-pyqt5

and it's likely for building apps that use pyqt that the dev package is also necessary.

(it's a while ago that i built mod-panel myself but i try to help by explaining what i would do facing this error message)

[worikgh]

how did you search?

I looked in all the usual places.

aptitude show pyqt5
E: Unable to locate package pyqt5      

[falkTX]

the list of deps are in the readme

https://github.com/mod-audio/mod-panel?tab=readme-ov-file#dependencies

[henning]

aptitude show pyqt5

E: Unable to locate package pyqt5      

but aptitude show is no search.
it only shows you if a package with this exact name exists.

the problem is, the packages needed to install dependencies that a makefile build dependency check mentions are usually not found under these exact names that are reported, but, as i already wrote, they are usually the dev packages.

because makefiles "talk" about development code, not distribution packages. These tools are not distribution specific and they don't know/care about distribution packages.

thats why you need to look for the dev packages that contain the name mentioned by the makefile.

[worikgh]

pyqt5-dev-tools is the required package

Then when using mod-panel and clicking "start" this is in the "File Browser" tab, and it stops ("start" is active again

It does not say what is missing

There was nothing reported in the console
