It worked for me by removing and reinstalling the dependencies

npm install --save-dev @electron-forge/cli
npx electron-forge import

In my case, the problem was due to missing the makers configuration in my forge.config.js since I opted for using that instead of another property in the package.json.

When you run the electron-forge import command, it ends up configuring a bunch of makers:

  makers: [
    {
      name: "@electron-forge/maker-zip",
    },
    {
      name: "@electron-forge/maker-squirrel",
      config: {
        name: "my-app-here",
      },
    },
    {
      name: "@electron-forge/maker-deb",
    },
    {
      name: "@electron-forge/maker-rpm",
    },
  ],
