'Google collab pip doesn't get recent package version

I'm using Goggle colab to test code that I maintain in PyPI. However, the runtime environment does not recognize the existence of recent versions of my package. I see that there is an environment variable LAST_FORCED_REBUILD, which has a date that is several days ago. Perhaps I need a more recent rebuild? It used to be possible to do a "Factory reset" from the "Runtime" menu, but that is not present. I've tried all the reset options, but that date remains.



Solution 1:[1]

Use the 'disconnect and delete runtime' option. It does the same thing as far as I'm aware. The factory reset option has been removed and/or renamed.
