The log failure looks more or less the same, just some line numbers seem different. There's also no `simple_strtoul` or `is_vlan_dev` involved: ``` DKMS make.log for ipt-netflow-2.3 for kernel 5.0.0-3-generic...

torvalds/linux@de8bda1 is only one part of the cause. Another cause is that [`do_gettimeofday()` is gone, too](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/e4b92b108c6cd6b311e4b6e85d6a87a34599a6e3#diff-0ba30ec50bafb8644460e5ca5c3d2b2b). `ktime_get_real_ts64()` seems a [direct replacement](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/HEAD/Documentation/core-api/timekeeping.rst#deprecated-time-interfaces). A third cause seems this error: ``` /var/lib/dkms/ipt-netflow/2.3/build/ipt_NETFLOW.c: In...

Here's the output of the two commands on the system where I ran into this: ``` → pkg-config --variable=xtlibdir xtables /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xtables → pkg-config --modversion xtables 1.8.4 ``` And here's the...

So despite I do have a solution and now understand what went wrong, I'd prefer if this could be handled in your configure script. But if you don't want to...

Will do later, yes.
