I've found the problem. Back in August, when I installed Debian on my laptop, I tried installing Kicad 5.0 by adding the testing (buster) to my apt sources. I managed to mess up my entire system, but I also managed to fix it by downgrading the upgraded packages. Looks like I missed one in the downgrade process. The problematic package was python-wxgtk3.0, version 3.0.2.0+dfsg-8, when it should be using version 3.0.2.0+dfsg-4. I've downgraded it and Pcbnew is working again. Thanks!
