Talking about this more, the Ubuntu solution for this sort of thing is
to configure sudo appropriately, so we'll close the bug here.

Bug description:
Hi,
In Ubuntu 19.10 I set capabilities as;
setcap cap_net_admin,cap_sys_admin+ep /bin/ip
getcap /bin/ip
/bin/ip = cap_net_admin,cap_sys_admin+ep
but;
> ip addr add 20.20.20.20/32 dev lo
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
*exactly* the same works perfect on 18.04.3 LTS.
BTW the set of a silly address on "lo" is just an example.
Nothing works on Ubuntu 19.10
