You must have copied you old build.properties from the previous installation.
The template in the repo seems correct:
https://github.com/nbcrrolls/opaltoolkit/blob/master/opal/opal2-core/build.properties.template

Can you try to re-deploy upgrading the version number in it (as in the
template)?

No, the new opal has a new deployment method.
No need to run any command, just drop the file inside $CATALINA_HOME/deploy.
To undeply rm the file from the folder.
This is one of the new feature of opal 2.5.

See the docs in dockboot (I know it is not very readable :-():
https://github.com/nbcrrolls/opaltoolkit/blob/master/opal/opal2-core/docbook/serversetup.sgml#L314

In particular:
<para>Deploy the services inside Tomcat, by copying the
<emphasis>date.xml</emphasis> file inside the
directory specified in
<emphasis>$OPAL_HOME/etc/opal.properties</emphasis> with the keyword
<emphasis>opal.deploy.path</emphasis>.
If you have not changed this property the default directory is
<emphasis>$CATALINA_HOME/deploy</emphasis>.
<screen>
    cp configs/date.xml $CATALINA_HOME/deploy
</screen>
</para>
