So I tried to "Reinstall" all, and now the problem has shifted. Every
attempt to reinstall stops with "Unable to extract
/etc/defaults/etc/pki/ca-trust/ca-legacy.conf". "The file is in use or
some other error occurred.".

Retry doesn't help. openfiles doesn't reveal anything:

Having enhanced setup.exe at one point, and accordingly debugged it,
I'll try and see if I can turn up the logging, see what is going on
exactly. I actually don't know where setup.log/setup.log.full is going
to at the moment.
