Hi

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

Expected: to able to specify a range of versions when install fiona with pip. Actual: get warning and error from pip

Steps to reproduce the problem.

Install fiona with pip install "fiona>=1.9.6,<2"

Operating system

container image: osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-small-3.6.2

Thank you

The cause of "metadata has '0.0.0'" is that setuptools need to have version 61 or later (docs) to read metadata to build fiona-1.9.x. Looking at that docker image the setuptools version was too old to fetch the appropriate metadata.

Here is what works for me:

apt update
apt install -y cython3 python3-pip python3-numpy
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-build-isolation --no-binary fiona "fiona>=1.9.6,<2"
