after updating the MC launcher today on using the ubuntu/debian download from alternative downloads, minecraft will not get past the "preparing stage".
If i go into the .minecraft folder and delete the assest folder it starts with "downloading" and it will work, nothing else seems to fix this. This issue did not happen until i updated the launcher.

*just writing this in case these are separate issues and not a duplicate issue, of course you are the expert but i thought this might help if you do find out they are different. Good luck solving the issue.
I think this could be a separate issue to MCL-17030 for a few reasons. firstly MC launcher does not load at all as a pose to a gradual and extremely slow loading in MCL-17030, it does not reach the "download phase", only the "preparing phase", if i delete the 1.16.5.json file in indexes within the assest folder it loads without issue. with this issue the system does not recognise it as downloading while in MCL-17030 it does. The issue in MCL-17030 has been persistent since Feb 22 2021, while this issue has only been persistent since the 1st/2nd March. the issue i have seems to be duplicated of MCL-17131 rather than MCL-17030.
Can you attach the ".minecraft/launcher_log.txt" file?
