EDIT #3:
After a series of attempts at removing packages, and installing again with/without the virtualenv, I came across various hurdles, which required me doing (with the help of ref, ref)
$ conda install -c conda-forge pygobject
$ conda install -c conda-forge gtk3
At one point, with some combination of actions and configuration (which I cannot reproduce now), I seemed to have overcome the error reported, but I was not able to connect to VPN. After further attempts I am again at the original point.
EDIT #2:
$ sudo apt install -y python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0
[sudo] password for user1:

python3-gi is already the newest version (3.36.0-1).
python3-gi-cairo is already the newest version (3.36.0-1).
gir1.2-gtk-3.0 is already the newest version (3.24.20-0ubuntu1.1).

EDIT:
I followed the answer by GADER. Now I get
$ protonvpn-gui
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/user1/anaconda3/bin/protonvpn-gui", line 5, in <module>
from linux_gui.protonvpn_gui import init
File "/home/user1/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/linux_gui/protonvpn_gui.py", line 9, in <module>
import gi
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'
As evident, the python used is from anaconda (and I hope the update didn't break anything).
I still have to debug the new error.
Initial OP
I installed protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.1-1_all.deb
in Bodhi Linux, kernel 5.13.0-39-generic #44~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP, with
$ sudo gdebi protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.1-1_all.deb
Note that this was done under a (base) virtualenv from anaconda, and this might have caused trouble.
When I try to run protonvpn (or protonvpn-cli or protonvpn-gui), I get
$ protonvpn
Traceback (most recent call last):

But I do have a suitable xdg-open
$ type xdg-open
xdg-open is /usr/bin/xdg-open
unless the problem is with versions.
How can I solve this?
I saw other reports of RuntimeError: Couldn't find acceptable executables for ...
(source, source).
