Code Review
This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, aims to fix a security vulnerability by upgrading @backstage/errors. However, the proposed change incorrectly modifies the dependency from a workspace-local reference (workspace:^) to a fixed, published version (0.1.1) in packages/e2e-test/package.json. This change is problematic as it will cause the end-to-end tests to run against an outdated version of the @backstage/errors package, defeating their purpose. My review includes a critical comment to revert this change and suggests a more appropriate way to handle the security vulnerability within the monorepo, such as using Yarn's resolutions feature.

This change from workspace:^ to a pinned version 0.1.1 is incorrect for a monorepo. The e2e-test package should use the version of @backstage/errors from the local workspace to ensure it's testing the current code. Pinning to a published version (0.1.1) means the e2e tests will run against an old version of the package, not the one in this repository (which is at version 1.2.1). This defeats the purpose of these tests.
The Snyk PR description notes that it "Failed to update the yarn.lock", which indicates the automated tool is likely struggling with the monorepo setup.
To fix the underlying security vulnerability, you should use Yarn's resolutions feature in the root package.json to enforce a secure version of the transitive dependency across the entire monorepo. This will fix the vulnerability without breaking the workspace linking.

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 runyarnto update the contents of the./yarn/cachedirectory.If you are not using zero-install you can ignore this as your flow should likely be unchanged.
