Restrictions for upgrading R and Python packages

Some R and Python packages should not be upgraded because doing so will break the Workbench UI.

For R Runtimes

Do not upgrade the Cairo or RServe packages in your projects using R Runtimes. If you do, you may be unable to launch sessions, jobs, experiments, or applications.

If these packages are upgraded, you will need to start a new project or to delete the directory .local/lib using the CDSW/CML Files UI ("show hidden")."

For Python Runtimes

Do not upgrade the matplotlib, ipykernel, or its dependencies (ipython, traitlets, jupyter_client, and tornado) packages in your project using Python Runtimes. If you do, you may be unable to launch sessions, jobs, experiments, or applications.

If these packages are upgraded, you will need to start a new project or to delete the directory .local/lib using the CDSW/CML Files UI ("show hidden")."
