 > Installing additional components failed.

 This turned out to be because I was using the original version of Xcode
 5.1.1 from 2014 and the embedded installer packages for the additional
 components were signed with a certificate that has expired. Using the new
 version of Xcode 5.1.1 from December 2019 would have worked. (I verified
 this on a different machine.) But before I realized that, I worked around
 the problem by manually running the installer packages in
 Xcode.app/Contents/Resources/Packages (MobileDevice.pkg and
 MobileDeviceDevelopment.pkg). Although the certificate was expired, the
 installer did not complain and allowed them to be installed. Thereafter
 Xcode then opened normally.

 Maybe installing these packages wasn't necessary after all, since we don't
 do mobile device development. However when setting up buildbot workers it
 has been my habit to install Xcode and then open it and respond to any
 prompts until it will open normally and I didn't want to deviate from that
 practice here.

 > system.log however pointed to the fact that it was accessing
 https://developer.apple.com but could not because the SSL certificate was
 issued by an unknown issuer. I opened that URL in Safari and told it
 always to trust the certificate. Then I retried installing additional
 components. This time it failed because it tried to access
 https://devimages.apple.com.edgekey.net but could not because it could not
 establish a secure connection.

 These issues remain but are unimportant because they relate to downloading
 documentation and simulators, neither of which we need.
