Yes and no; it builds, but then using it fails with

  File "/gnu/store/brj5xv8zqa1w7byz8b1fz0fd1hmy3kd4-calibre-3.28.0/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/comments_editor.py", line 17, in <module>
    from PyQt5.QtWebKitWidgets import QWebView, QWebPage

They claim this solved their problems.

The current git server of qtwebkit is here:
   https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebkit.git

I am downloading version 5.212.0-alpha2 from here:
   https://github.com/annulen/webkit/releases
and will give it a try.
