As a workaround, I removed:

• role: raspbian

Line 9 from site.yml and reran the playbook successfully. I'm not that strong in ansible but I believe the if statement in the roles/raspbian/tasks/main.yml is incorrectly detecting a RaspberryPi OS for Debian Buster x64

I just experienced this error and fixed it by changing the test case in the raspbian role main.yml file from

- name: Activating cgroup support
   ...
  when:
    - raspbian is true

to

- name: Activating cgroup support
   ...
  when: raspbian

Formatting edit.

Raspberry Pi OS cgroup support should now be working.
