need 'libadwaita-1' ['>= 1.5.alpha'] found '1.1.7'

I'm trying to build gnome-characters locally. But then I got:

meson.build:49:0: ERROR: Dependency "libadwaita-1" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

So I installed it using:

sudo apt install libadwaita-1-dev

Now I'm getting:

meson.build:49:0: ERROR: Invalid version of dependency, need 'libadwaita-1' ['>= 1.5.alpha'] found '1.1.7'.

How can I resolve this issue?

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
