If you updated from Sigil 0.9.x to Sigil 1.2.1, there's a few new python modules that are mandatory for Sigil to function properly. One of those modules is the css-parser module. Unfortunately, not all Linux distros are great at picking up on these python requirement changes. It's been a while since I've used SuSe, so I don't know the particulars of installing python modules from Suse repos, but the package should be called something like python-css-parser

The dulwich module also became mandatory (for Sigil's checkpointing feature), so you may want to make sire that's installed as well. Unfortunately, it looks like the version in the SuSe 15.3 repos is quite old (0.18.x). You'll probably want to use pip install to get a version 0.19 or newer.

If that's not the issue, then we'll probably need to see some actual epub samples to see what's going on. Just remember not to attach any copyrighted epubs if you decide to go that route.
