i don't see anything wrong in the Travis jobs for the AppImage - e.g.:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/archive.travis-ci.org/jobs/300641877/log.txt?X-Amz-Expires=30&X-Amz-Date=20171111T200254Z&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAJRYRXRSVGNKPKO5A/20171111/us-east-1/s3/aws4_request&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=1198498d01e96dc3a7bc010db4556513dfe875e378afc3e94655178519296051

so ATM, i'm not sure what's going on or how to debug this.
