Downgrade or compile rsync to fix bug

cn flag

rsync: [generator] failed to set permissions : Operation not supported (95)

I'm running ubuntu 21.10 and facing the same problem as the above link, but could not follow the solution steps, for e.g. installing libssl-dev gives me this error below:

[~/tmp/rsync-be3d6c0fbbd07781bbae6261cda109f8f08c031b]# apt install libssl-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Suggested packages:
  libssl-doc
E: Sub-process returned an error code

Also can't comment (ask questions) there due to low reputation, I need my rsync to run, is there a way to downgrade to 3.1.3-8 or some easier solution?

Thank you.

snap installed an older version, not sure how it does it.

# snap install rsync --devmode
# rsync -v
rsync  version 3.1.1  protocol version 31

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
