Error: Latest release not available for platform 'x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu24.04'!

[aitesam961]

This issue originates from pulp-ara. I can confirm that it works perfectly on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS but seems not to work with 24.04.

Log

ind: ‘deps’: No such file or directory
find: ‘deps’: No such file or directory
bender-init: Warning: No release for platform 'x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu24.04' version '0.27.3' found, using latest.
sh: 329: [[: not found
bender-init: Error: Latest release not available for platform 'x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu24.04'!

**QS: Is there a way to make it usable on 24.04LTS or would the bender be limited to 22 LTS?**

Steps to Reproduce:

# requires a 24.04LTS machine
git clone <pulp-ara
git submodule update --init --recursive
git submodule sync --recursive
cd hardware
make checkout

The script here, linked in the ara hardware makefile downloads the referenced bender version from the github releases. If there is a prebuilt version available for your OS, it will download this, otherwise mention that it is unavailable, check the most recent bender version for a compatible binary, and then download the default linux-gnu version. This default version should also work, as far as I know, however there seems to be an issue in the script that causes the download to fail for you: https://github.com/pulp-platform/bender/blob/e6af4f7406d31a0555fe5a6d85948017fce02b1a/init#L329

Let's make sure the download script works correctly when the specified version & OS is not available, I will open a PR with an initial fix. Adding the new OS version as you did in #176 of course also makes sense.
