Public bug reported:

Trying to start Anki version 2.1.8+dfsg-1 from Ubuntu 19.04 fails with
the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/anki", line 6, in <module>
    import aqt
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/__init__.py", line 32, in <module>
    import aqt.forms
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/forms/__init__.py", line 44, in <module>
    from . import about
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/forms/about.py", line 42, in <module>
    from aqt.webview import AnkiWebView
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/webview.py", line 90, in <module>
    class AnkiWebView(QWebEngineView):
NameError: name 'QWebEngineView' is not defined

This appears to be due to changes in the PyQt, as described in this Arch
bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61710

The patch suggested there by Antonio Rojas works on my Ubuntu 19.04
system, too:
