Description
I'm trying to build vpnkit and run it on Ubuntu.
- install tcpip dev
The former state can be restored with:
opam switch import
"~/vpnkit/_build/opam/4.07.0/backup/state-20210509204129.export"
'opam install tcpip -t' failed.
Makefile:27: recipe for target '/home/test.admin/vpnkit/_build/opam' failed
make: *** [/home/test.admin/vpnkit/_build/opam] Error 4
But, then if I install it separately I get:
opam install tcpip -t --root _build/opam/
[NOTE] Package tcpip is already installed (current version is dev).
I'm a little stuck. I tried this on master and the v0.5.0 release tag.

Research direction
Start with Makefile:27 and the _build/opam setup, then reproduce the opam install tcpip -t failure on Ubuntu 18.04 using the master or v0.5.0 checkout. Compare the failing build command with the separate install command; done means the project builds successfully without the tcpip step failing.
