I've never seen this particular error before. However, based on the above
it looks like you're switching from one git pin
(https://github.com/adamsteen/mirage-solo5.git) to another
(https://github.com/mirage/mirage-solo5.git).

Maybe remove the local directory OPAM is using for the Git clone and try
again? Also, you write you're looking in
"/home/asteen/.opam/4.06.1/build/mirage-solo5", but the "path" mentioned in
the OPAM log above is different.

Have you tried OPAM 2 at all? (This might be tangential, but OPAM 1.x is
basically in maintenance mode so time to get things working may be better
spent on OPAM 2.)
