I don't know the cause.

Alternatively, you may try the following build methods.

Always tried it , but the build process doesnt working at all

root@ubuntu-jammy:~/upg-vpp# make version
ver_tmp=`mktemp version-XXXXXXXX`; \
echo "#ifndef UPG_VERSION" >"${ver_tmp}"; \
echo "#define UPG_VERSION \"v1.13.0-dirty\"" >>"${ver_tmp}"; \
echo "#endif" >>"${ver_tmp}"; \
if ! cmp upf/version.h "${ver_tmp}"; then \
  mv "${ver_tmp}" upf/version.h; \
else \
  rm -f "${ver_tmp}"; \
fi
upf/version.h version-BSHtuF1a differ: byte 49, line 2
