Oh, I guess I should have mentioned that I did "test" this for good
measure, by spinning up a base ubuntu 20.04 container, running the
linux-setup.sh with this change, and did a dpdk build.

This change should be already covered in [1].

Haha... I guess that serves as a lesson.

Thanks Bruce.

Probably worth it to try that patch out and add your tested-by tag :)

I wonder if we shouldn't push it to something later.
Debian stable is using 1.0.1 and testing is up to 1.5.2

0.57.0 was released on Feb 14,2021
1.0.0 was released on Dec 23, 2022

So getting a release that was more recent makes sense.
The users stuck on enterprise distro's are going to have to resort
to pip anyway to get a new version.

Yes, this was a factor in choosing 0.57.
The other is that this is just a minimum version, so if distros are
shipping later that is absolutely no problem. We are better to err on the
side of being cautious here IMHO.
