Wine log of running the launcher

The SWTOR launcher is unable to patch itself, or to patch the game, and hence
refuses to start the game even if it is actually up to date. However, it works
on Linux Mint 19.3 (with the Xenial packages; the recommended bionic packages
do not install).

Debug output from Wine is not obviously helpful. Logs from SWTOR show an
UnzipFailed error which is suspicious. Wine logs show nothing obviously
helpful.

I am using all the usual precautions for SWTOR:
- Run the original installer in wine-devel. The installer does not work with
staging. However, the patcher has the same issues on both.
- On an affected system, the launcher hangs trying to patch itself, with errors
in the SWTOR log. This can be fixed using the launcher repair utility. On Mint,
it shows a bunch of assertion error dialogs, and works.
- Login and accept the EULA, at this point it will complain about BitRaider.
Exit and modify launcher.settings as usual to turn off BitRaider.
- At this point, on Mint, Wine 5.11 is downloading the game successfully. On
any version of Debian, it shows the error "Unable to retrieve patch data.
Please check network connection. (206)". The TOR log shows the unzip error. I
think the unzip error and the problems with the patcher patching itself are
probably the same bug.

This stopped working around the time of Wine 5.10, I think because of an update
to the launcher. It does not work on Debian 9, 10 or 11 on staging 5.11. On
Debian 11, it does not work on staging 5.11 or devel 5.12.
