### Description

I have configured a kamailio as PCSCF taking the configuration sample files (kamailio.cfg and pcscf.cfg) in https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/tree/master/misc/examples/pcscf

The version of kamailio installed is the 5.1.

When I perform "service pcscf start" the services doesn't restart giving a parsing error for a pseudo variable called $uac_req. The error is found in this section:

route[NATPING] { route(preload_pcscf);

sht_iterator_start("nat_iterator", "natping"); while(sht_iterator_next("nat_iterator")) { xlog("OPTIONS to $shtitval(nat_iterator) via $shtitkey(nat_iterator)...\n"); $uac_req(method) = "OPTIONS"; $uac_req(ruri) = $shtitval(nat_iterator); $uac_req(furi) = PCSCF_URL; $uac_req(turi) = $shtitval(nat_iterator); $uac_req(ouri) = $shtitkey(nat_iterator); $uac_req(evroute) = 1; uac_req_send(); } sht_iterator_end("nat_iterator"); }

I have checked that I have only one "uac.so" file in /usr/lib64/kamailio/modules/ and the date of the file is April 15th. So I guess that the file is updated.
