It appears that the syslog-ng-3.4 repository had its submodule path
for ivykis changed from the balabit fork one to the upstream one, but
didn't have its submodule commit ID updated to point to an upstream
commit.

I've pushed out a tag called 'balabit' corresponding to the
73c0c27a19755f700b268081a5a59acdd04b421e commit in the balabit tree
to the upstream repository to remedy this for now, i.e. the sequence
of commands you ran above should work now.
