appimage-builder 1.0.3 failing: expected str instance, NoneType found

See original GitHub issue

1.0.2 was working a few days ago but now my CI runs are failing with:

INFO:AppImagePrimer:Creating squashfs from AppDir
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/appimage-builder", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(__main__())

    self.logger.debug(" ".join(command))
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, NoneType found

I haven’t yet tracked down whether I’m going something wrong or not possible its the new “zx” change?

Thanks! By the way, 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3 decreased my binary size from 95MiB to 77MiB! So that is quite nice! (I assume b/c I dropped appimage-tool, but I didn’t really look into it)
