Describe the issue

Building container using kaniko is skipping pip install--pre --upgrade bigdl-llm[xpu] -f https://developer.intel.com/ipex-whl-stable-xpu

This leads to required packages not getting installed in the path. On further investigation we are seeing the below error.

Could not fetch URL https://developer.intel.com/ipex-whl-stable-xpu: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://corpredirect.intel.com/Redirector/404Redirector.aspx?404;https://developer.intel.com/ipex-whl-stable-xpu - skipping

Some debugging lead to the additional details.

Could you check if the command below works?
python -m pip install torch==2.0.1a0 torchvision==0.15.2a0 intel-extension-for-pytorch==2.0.110+xpu --extra-index-url https://pytorch-extension.intel.com/release-whl/stable/xpu/us/
