Outdated Pandas causing ImportError in Alma8 image

[UCSC-EarlAlmazan]

When attempting to import pandas within python, I get an ImportError:

When attempting to install pandas as a way to brute force a solution, nothing is recognized as absent.
This issue looks to be resolved with upgrading from Pandas 2.2.2 to 2.2.3

If no other module has a dependency on Pandas 2.2.2 in contrast to 2.2.3, updating the existing Alma8 image to include the pandas 2.2.3 should resolve this issue. Doing this upgrade however also brings up the following error:

/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pandas/core/computation/expressions.py:21: UserWarning: Pandas requires version '2.8.4' or newer of 'numexpr' (version '2.7.3' currently installed).
  from pandas.core.computation.check import NUMEXPR_INSTALLED

Which looks to be similarly resolved by upgrading numexpr 2.7.3 to numexpr 2.10.1

@UCSC-EarlAlmazan sorry for late reply! I am finally fixed images and I am going to put a set of new one for both coffea 0.7.3 (new release with numexpr-2.10.1) and coffea 2024.11.0 (new release with pandas=2.2.3) in coffea.casa and coffea-opendata.casa
