You have the same wheel name there twice. I'm assuming you meant PyQt6
(rather than PyQt6-Qt6) in the first sentence?

This is a Qt limitation. PyQt wheels ship Qt's official binaries, and
those only work with glibc 2.28+:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/supported-platforms.html

    Note: Linux binary packages are linked against glibc 2.28. If you
    are using a glibc version older than that you need to build Qt from
    sources or upgrade glibc to 2.28 or newer.
