Fantastic news! Through excellent chat help from shmerl we've been able to solve the pickle, through some quite extreme means.
For some reason I had the wrong version of libpulse0. Installing the correct version, which was libpulse0:amd64=1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4 in my case, also removed a whole pack of cinnamon packages.
After downloading the 19.3 image to an USB stick I went ahead anyway, and it actually worked -- and it was possible to reinstall those packages.
After that, it then worked to eventually get Wine 5.0 installed.
Yet to restart the computer, but I think this actually worked, and I've been able to install Witcher 3's ModKit now, and uncook some files. Great stuff!! :)
(Edit: I handed out a pile of +'es. Thanks! )
