[Bug]: U-boot build error if you change the version for a specific board.

[The-going]

What happened?

I want to change the u-boot version only for the bananapim3 board, but I get this error.

Lacking proper logs.

The whole magazine is in the first post. There is also information in the log files.

Oh my God! It sounds like nonsense.
Before starting the compilation, I updated the OS (ubuntu 22.04) and these were Python updates.
And I get this error.

The same thing, but in VM (ubuntu 24.04) it works fine.

There were some troubles related to this:
#7213
so it was reverted. If it works now, close the ticket.

It's something else.
And I feel like a fool.
I look at the code and see that the error occurs when
source /home/leo/build/config/sources/families/sun8i.conf is called.
Next comes a recursive call to the source directive.
I add an echo to each called file and see that all files have been read and the variables have the correct value.

On (ubuntu 22.04; Python 3.10.12; Bash 5.1.16(1)-release ) I get this error:

[💥] Error 1 occurred in main shell [ at /home/leo/build/lib/functions/configuration/main-config.sh:538
   source_family_config_and_arch() --> lib/functions/configuration/main-config.sh:538

I canceled all my changes, but the error remained.
I deleted the entire armbian/build folder.
Then I created this folder again and initialized the git there.
I pulled my entire branch and configuration file there.

The creation of the u-boot package was completed successfully.

@igorpecovnik
As far as I understand, some of the changes that the build system has added to its tree (the build folder) cannot be undone or rolled back in a trivial way.
