dmg-license incompatible error when building on Linux

[Webreaper]

• Electron-Builder Version: 22.11.11

• Node Version: v14.17.6

• Electron Version: 14.0.0
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): Current

• Target: MacOS, Linux, Windows

I'm running a cross-platform build on MacOS, Linux and Windows. It's running in GitHub actions, and each platform builds on a runner using its own OS (so Linux builds on Ubuntu, MacOS builds on Mac, and Windows builds on Windows).

My build has been fine using electron v11.0.0 and electron-builder v22.11.4. However, upgrading to electron v14, with the same version of electron-builder or newer, and I get this:

Now, I've seen issues saying that the platform "linux" is incompatible with this module error is because you have to build on linux - but I am building on linux. So I don't understand why dmg-licence is being pulled in as a dependency at all (my app doesn't use it...).

The MacOS version builds just fine on MacOS.

I can workaround it by reverting back to Electron v11, but that's not ideal. Any ideas how to fix?

I also remember experiencing this issue.

Seems it will be fixed in the next release by: #6244
