I guess the image link didn't work in previous message so here's the text:

Sigil 0.9.9 is quite old. The last version to use BookView is Sigil-0.9.14 and the current version for Linux is Sigil-1.2.1.

You may run into issues with Qt as well.

We have absolutely nothing to do with Sigil packaging on Mint/Ubuntu. Sounds like they're installing a mix of Sigil 0.9.9 and 1.1.0 packages. Ubuntu 20.04 (which is what Mint 20 is based on) has Sigil 1.1.0 in its repos. that's what Mint 20 should be using, too.

Perhaps make sure all of your repositories are updated/refreshed and try again?

Or if you insist on manually installing the 0.9.9 Sigil.deb, you'll also need to manually downgrade the sigil-data package to match.
