This is caused by a syntax change in /proc/version
Since I had no /proc/version for ubuntu I had to guess, the issue was resolved for the distros that I got to see samples from, but I have yet to see a /proc/version output for ubuntu kernel 5.8.
Note this is NOT a bug in inxi because the syntax in question has been stable ever since inxi offered the compiler version for kernel, this was a change done for unknown reasons, and in a non standard manner, and will require more /proc/version samples from different distros to fully cover.
