I'm experiencing the same issue as stated here: https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2020-September/043203.html but unfortunately Chris gave up and switched to iOS..
I've also asked a question on Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65059086/project-error-unknown-modules-in-qt-x11extras

Are there any updates?

I've tried to build the demo on Ubuntu 18.04, Debian 10, Fedora 31, Fedora 33 with all development related packages installed I can imagine, but I'm facing the same error again and again.

In native and dockered systems I've installed the following packages: python python3 python3-pip build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-devpyqt5-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev libgles2-mesa-devWith pip Ive installed  pyqtdeploy, sip, and PyQt-builder

I also experimentally (desperately) installed all Qt5 or X11 related dev packages (i.e. *qt5*-dev, *x11*-dev)

Then I tried to build the demo:

tar xf pyqtdeploy

-3.1.0

.tar.gz
cd pyqtdeploy

-3.1.0

/demo
python3 build-demo.py --verbose

Building Qt5 seemed to work fine but when it comes to PyQt5 I alway get

... 2h of compilation ...

Running

'sip-install --qmake /home/me/pyqt5/demo/sysroot-linux-64/Qt/bin/qmake --no-distinfo --concatenate 2 --no-docstrings --verbose'

I'm running out of ideas.. Can someone provide me with a hint how to locate the problem? What does "Unknown module(s) in QT" mean?

Is there a distinct list of dependencies needed for PyQt5 on Linux and for Linux? I've read
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/pyqtdeploy/demo.html#building-the-demo
as recommended by Phil but I think I've installed all dependencies one can think of..
