Build started failing with "Could not perform immediate configuration on"

See original GitHub issue

As far as I know nothing changed on my side, but I do my builds in a docker container that is updated weekly so it may have pulled a new version of appimagebuilder. To test that theory I rebuilt the build container with release 12 and got the same result. The log of the build is below. If you want/need full build instructions or just an app image to start with, let me know and I can make that available.
