AppImage build seems corrupted

• Electron-Builder Version: 23.0.0-alpha.2

• Node Version: 16.13.1

• Electron Version: 17.0.0
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: AppImage

I’m using the alpha version because I was running into #6563 .

This seems to be an issue with electron 17.x, if I roll back to 16.0.8 then it builds and runs fine. I’m building on Arch Linux targeting AppImage. The build runs fine, but when I try to run it I get the following output:

$ electron-builder --publish never

Squashfs image uses (null) compression, this version supports only xz, zlib.

Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.

Still an issue with the final release of electron-builder 23.0.0 when building against either electron 17.0.1 or 16.0.9.
