So that does not match your current version of PyQt:

PyQt5-5.15.2-x86_64-3

If I understand this:

https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt5/installation.html#understanding-the-correct-version-to-install

PyQT<some_version> will downshift to using older libraries then what it
is built against. PyQt is just a wrapper(binding) to the underlying Qt
libraries. It is the Qt libraries that have the database drivers, in
your case QPSQL. I'm guessing qt5-5.12.8 is not recent enough to deal
with the changes in Postgres 11+. You might want to ask this on the Qt
list(s). I have tried to determine this, but the Qt repo structure is
lets say interesting and I can't find any relevant information.

Does your version of Slackware allow you to upgrade the Qt version to
5.15.x?
