Install a package without updating other unrelated packages (Julia 1.0)

Question

It is possible to install a package in Julia 1.0 without updating other packages? For instance if a install ClusterManagers, the package IJulia (among others) gets updated. The package ClusterManagers has no dependencies.

(v1.0) pkg> add ClusterManagers
 Resolving package versions...
 Installed IJulia ───────────── v1.12.0
 Installed ClusterManagers ──── v0.3.2
 Installed ColorTypes ───────── v0.7.5
 Installed OrderedCollections ─ v1.0.1
  Updating `~/.julia/environments/v1.0/Project.toml`
  [34f1f09b] + ClusterManagers v0.3.2
  [7073ff75] ↑ IJulia v1.11.1 ⇒ v1.12.0
  Updating `~/.julia/environments/v1.0/Manifest.toml`
  [34f1f09b] + ClusterManagers v0.3.2
  [3da002f7] ↑ ColorTypes v0.7.4 ⇒ v0.7.5
  [7073ff75] ↑ IJulia v1.11.1 ⇒ v1.12.0
  [bac558e1] ↑ OrderedCollections v1.0.0 ⇒ v1.0.1
  Building IJulia → `~/.julia/packages/IJulia/4VL8h/deps/build.log`

I use Julia 1.0.0 (official https://julialang.org/ release) on Linux.

Yes, the intention is that adding a package should not update the other ones. This is a bug (https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/607) that has been fixed (https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/pull/642) and will be included in Julia v1.0.1.
