You are using a very old .deb that needs pyqt4 with qtwebkit that is no longer available, so I recommend installing it using the source code with the following commands:

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
    python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit \
    qml-module-qtquick2 \
    python3-pyqt5.qtquick \
    wget \
    unzip \
    ca-certificates \
    python3-setuptools

wget https://github.com/ninja-ide/ninja-ide/archive/v2.4.zip && unzip v2.4.zip

cd ninja-ide-2.4 && sudo python3 setup.py install

want to start ninja-ide but won't start
