Well this is a consequence of this upstream change in iproute2:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git/commit/?h=v4.16.0&id=ba2fc55b99f8363c80ce36681bc1ec97690b66f5.
Upstream discussion, such as it is, of the patch appears to be here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20180327162419.8962-1-bl...@debian.org/
Probably the next step is to email the netdev list about this. Is that
something you would be interested in doing? You are probably better able
to explain your use case than I am!

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

*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
