I am having the same issue. I am also trying to upgrade from 2.1.9 to 2.2.0. I run into a "postcode is a required field." error and the setup:upgrade dies. If I find anything out I will be sure to update it here.

Same issue. @magento-engcom-team, create a tax rule without postcode first, then setup:upgrade.. seems obvious.

Test properly before saying "Can not reproduce"!

Same issue here. To fix this check the table tax_calculation_rate. When the field tax_postcode is empty enter a *

Then the upgrade will work.

Thanks @JoostWan , according to my database this query fixed the issue:

UPDATE tax_calculation_rate SET tax_postcode = '*' WHERE tax_postcode IS NULL

Same Problem here, JoostWan's and friimaind's tipps fixed it.

@magento-engcom-team
I can reproduce the issue and it is only when you have existing rules with tax_postcode NULL. Maybe I will provide a fix for this issue.
