BPi M1 building has warning version stable-updates has bad syntax

[Jir8taiwan]

Hi, whom may concern.

My Banana Pi M1 in Armbian 20.08.3 with kernel 5.8.11-sunxi I am installing RestroPie-Setup Script 4.6.8 and have patched from the helper for BPi board identify (https://github.com/bernhard263/Bananapi-Retropie).

Due to many different questions by a new leaner on linux os in arm architecture. I not only does many stupid failures in crash result, but also am slowly making up careful after many times of complete os reinstallation. However, I detect new issues to search someone help in advanced. Today, I look at execute ./retropie_setup.sh and immediate show off following error feedback dpkg: warning: version 'stable-updates' has bad syntax: version number does not start with digit

I try to ignore to go on installing core packages in menuconfig selection. And then, I also detect the first downloading line with the same error message in something. I think that is an important to solve why I cannot to build complete up in the end. Would someone please to advice how to find the real location to debug or solve it? It will be helpful to me because I has costed many days on redo, reinstall, recompile and rebuild.

Thanks a lot in the beginning.

PS1. I mean previous reinstallation OS can run two hours to finish core complier to prepare enter. Today of current installation, I have really stuck with fail building sdl2 - SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer). I do not know how it comes.

Ah! I look at the log file in next screen and I am manually installing libsdl2-dev package. Let see any else to fix it up later.

I have tried this post : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/23984/solved-rpi4-sdl2-problem-during-installation-meanwhile-its-available-via-apt-get/11 However, it is still not sucessful and received the error message. Errors: Could not successfully build sdl2 - SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) v2.x (/usr/local/src/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/sdl2/libsdl2-dev_2.0.10+5mali_armhf.deb not found).

I think this is why I cannot go into command emulationstation with error:

        No available video device
