  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for pyliblzfse
  Running setup.py clean for pyliblzfse
Failed to build pyliblzfse
ERROR: ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (pyliblzfse)

Solution was:

python -m pip install --use-pep517 pyliblzfse --break-system-packages

Perhaps a pyproject.toml file could be added to avoid this issue
