As part of upgrading Qt to 5.11 the pyqt module for qtwebkit broke so
qtwebkit was removed from pyqt in an attempt to allow other packages
that didn't rely on it to continue working. Unfortunately qutebrowser
got caught up in the middle.

Realistically we'd need to either re-enable qtwebkit as an input for
pyqt or package qtwebengine and use that in pyqt.
