This is driving me insane.

I am trying to launch a gradio space.  
I have reduced requirements file to just:  
gradio==4.16.0

But in the command line I see that after having successfully installed gradio 4.16 installation for some reason rolls to this:

→ RUN pip install --no-cache-dir gradio[oauth]==3.38.0 “uvicorn\>=0.14.0” spaces==0.22.0 gradio\_client==0.2.10  
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable  
Collecting gradio[oauth]==3.38.0

etc.

I am completely confused. What is going on… Please help me.
