Did you manage to solve this problem?

[cabiste-dev]

you need to set the version in the recipe according to the sementic versioning standard

so if you're app is version 2.3 you need to write it v2.3.0 in the recipe file

For those who is interested: appimage-builder uses packaging module to parse versions which implements versioning specific to Python but it is not the same as for Debian packages: 1.21.1ubuntu2.1 is valid version for Debian package but invalid from the point of view of Python packaging. The offending package seems to be dpkg or its relative (libdpkg-perl or dpkg-dev) - in Ubuntu 22.04 it has version 1.21.1ubuntu2.2 in jammy-updates repository, 1.21.1ubuntu2.1 in jammy-security and 1.21.1ubuntu2 in jammy.

The issue should have been solved by 728998d but it's not released yet.

Yeah, i have same problem and search how to solve it. But i dont have a lot of experience in appimage packaging and my solution was to set up ubuntu-18 on virtual box and to try package appimages with builder on it
