[SOLVED] craft cms command line update to version 3.5.12.1 or greater fails

I am running the following command to update craft cms:

php craft update craft

However upgrading to version 3.5.12.1 or greater fails with the following error:

Performing update with Composer ... done
Applying new migrations ... error: The command "'/var/www/craft' 'migrate/all' '--no-content'" failed.

Exit Code: 1(General error)

Working directory: /var/www

Output:
================


Error Output:
================
Error: array_merge(): Expected parameter 2 to be an array, null given


Output:

The current version of craft that I am running is 3.3.19, and it's running in a docker, using the following composer.json:

}

I have tried disabling plugins but that seems to make no difference. Also, I am not sure where the "'/var/www/craft' 'migrate/all' '--no-content'" command is even coming from since that seems to be slightly different command than what is in the composer.json.

When I try to run just the migration:

./craft migrate/all

I get the following stack trace:

PHP Warning 'yii\base\ErrorException' with message 'array_merge(): Expected parameter 2 to be an array, null given'

It appears to be a bug in craft related to the UrlManager code, but if this is the case, I don't know why others have not seemed to experience it (I couldn't find anything about it in my searches)? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be wrong?
