Error Message

Our rasterio version is restricted in PyPSA-Earth to rasterio!=1.2.10
When deinstallaing pypsa-earth conda remove --name pypsa-earth --all and installing it from scratch conda env create -f envs/environment.yaml I get the following error when running the workflow:

rasterio.errors.CRSError: The WKT could not be parsed. OGR Error code 6 (appears in build_natura raster rule)

When the patch-4 of @davide-f Atlite fork is merged the issue should disappear.
Let me explain how the error appears. Our rasterio version is restricted in PyPSA-Earth to rasterio!=1.2.10. By default anaconda resolves the version in PyPSA-Earth such that rasterio=1.2.9. Well that so far no problem. However, since atlite is in PyPSA-Earth forked and can be only installed over pip, pip will overwrite the 1.2.9 version because atlite enforces rasterio>=1.2.10. What pip will install is than either rasterio==1.3.3 and rasterio==1.3.4. But why does that trigger an error? My assumption after reading some stuff: rasterio, gdal and fiona should be installed with the same conda installation --> updating one of it afterwards can cause issues.

The patch-4 solution makes out of rasterio>=1.2.10 now rasterio!=1.2.10. This will lead to the case that rasterio will not be reinstalled by the pip process:

pip:
