The package dmore/behat-chrome-extension which is listed in the require-dev of composer.json is dependent on the failing package: dmore/chrome-mink-driver as the URL provided in the composer.lock file fetches a .tar.gz file instead of an actual .zip file as mentioned in the dist link provided.

See composer.lock:

            "name": "dmore/chrome-mink-driver",
            "version": "2.8.0",
            "source": {
                "type": "git",
                "url": "https://gitlab.com/DMore/chrome-mink-driver.git",
                "reference": "f85c8f86ca2e9000119c310577a6942683f7e280"
            },
            "dist": {
                "type": "zip",
                "url": "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/DMore%2Fchrome-mink-driver/repository/archive.zip?sha=f85c8f86ca2e9000119c310577a6942683f7e280",
                "reference": "f85c8f86ca2e9000119c310577a6942683f7e280",
                "shasum": ""
            },

This throws an error, see:

Replicated locally:

This particularly affects users/developers who use Terminus Build Tools for spinning up WordPress sites with CI/CD in Pantheon. A workaround in the meantime is to manually update the local composer.lock file.

It appears to be breaking in release/v2.4.4.
