No linuxcnc widgets in designer was created by lllars

This is on a clean install of Mint 19.3 Mate edition

LinuxCNC is the version 2.9 from this repository:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ stretch master-rtpreempt'

I followed the qtvcp installation instructions from here:
www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gui/qtv...ude_linuxcnc_widgets

$ ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/designer
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31592 Aug 29 22:20 libpyqt5_py2.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31488 Apr 23  2018 libpyqt5.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18808 Apr 14  2018 libqquickwidget.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18752 Apr 14  2018 libqwebview.so
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 Aug 29 22:12 python

$ ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/designer/python/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 62 Aug 29 22:12 qtvcp_plugin.py -> /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qtvcp/plugins/qtvcp_plugin.py

I've also tried putting the link to qtvcp_plugin.py in ~/.designer/python/ --> no difference

Launching designer with:

$ designer -qt=5

It runs fine, just no linuxcnc widgets. Help-->About Plugins lists:

Loaded Plugins
    libpyqt5.so
    libpyqt5_py2.so
    libquickwidget.so
        QQuickWidget
    libqwebview.so
        QWebView

I tried moving libpyqt5.so elsewhere, and then it doesn't show up in about plugins, but with no other difference.

yes remove libpyqt5.so.
Then launch designer from a terminal and post anything printed in the terminal please.

try adding this file to the plugin folder and launching the designer again to see if it prints to the screen.

I don't see any output. It should print in the terminal?

yes.
so to summarize - you see libpyqt5_py2 in designer's about plugins and it doesn't print the message from the file we just added to:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/designer/python/

Did you check the version of qt in designer and pick the same version of libpyqt5.so?
I'm running out of ideas
