After updating my project dependencies, I discovered a bug within a new version of an internal library used by my company. Other individuals informed me that they managed to resolve the issue by downgrading the corresponding indirect dependency to version 16:
go.opentelemetry.io/otel v1.17.0 // indirect
However, whenever I execute the go mod tidy command, the version automatically reverts to 1.17, and the bug persists.
Is there a way to prevent this behavior?
