Snyk changed the following file(s):

• plugins/catalog-backend-module-gerrit/package.json

Note for zero-installs users

If you are using the Yarn feature zero-installs that was introduced in Yarn V2, note that this PR does not update the .yarn/cache/ directory meaning this code cannot be pulled and immediately developed on as one would expect for a zero-install project - you will need to run yarn to update the contents of the ./yarn/cache directory.
If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.

⚠️ Warning

Failed to update the yarn.lock, please update manually before merging.

The version 0.1.1 specified for @backstage/catalog-model appears to be significantly outdated compared to the other Backstage packages being updated in this PR (such as backend-common to 0.24.1 and plugin-catalog-node to 1.0.0).

This version discrepancy will likely cause compatibility issues since these packages are designed to work together at similar version levels. Consider updating catalog-model to a version that aligns with the other packages being modified to ensure proper functionality and avoid dependency conflicts.

Suggested change

	"@backstage/catalog-model": "0.1.1",
	"@backstage/catalog-model": "^1.0.0",
