[Bug 1995469] [NEW] Version 0.6.7-3 is broken for "del" operations on recent kernels

[Eugene Crosser]

Public bug reported:

Because of this bug upstream
https://github.com/svinota/pyroute2/issues/923, in the versions of
pyroute2 prior to 0.6.10, all delete operations (address, link, route,
...) fail with 'Operation not supported'.

This is related to the kernel commit
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=a6cec0bcd34264be8887791594be793b3f12719f

Pyroute package has to be upgraded to a version 0.6.10 or later as long
as the distro comes with the kernel that contains the above commit.
