I recall vaguely an issue with a change in calibre's built in content
server with the 3.30 series. I now use Alienbobs calibre package.  I
don't use PyQt5.  Rather, qt5-5.9.6 and qt5-webkit-5.9.0 to get it to
work. Make sure have qt5 and qt5-webkit built in the correct order, and
libwep might be required now as well.

Or do what I did a few months ago and throw my hands up and just use
Alienbob's calibre package. The dep chain was enough to shorten my
lifespan....
