I'm getting an unexpected error while trying to install rasterio v1.3.4 in an Ubuntu (22.04 LTS) VM running in Parallels Desktop on an M2 MacBook Air running MacOS 15.2 (Sequoia). The installation is in a Python 3.10.10 virtual env. using pip v22.3.1. The GDAL version is 3.4.1, which is the highest possible in Ubuntu 22.04. The error excerpt is below:

$ python -m pip install rasterio==1.3.4

It seems that rasterio versions >= 1.4 require GDAL >= 3.5, but in Ubuntu 22.04 GDAL only goes up to 3.4.1.

The same error occurs with other versions, e.g. v1.3.5 up to v1.3.11. I haven't tried higher or lower versions.

If anyone could possibly suggest a solution or a workaround please let me know. A environment and tools version summary is given below.
