I had success running unit tests for software deployments in pairs, one with pinned versions (error on a failed build) and one unpinned (warning on a failed build)

so at least you get forewarning when an upstream dependency messes everything up, and if the software changes are somewhat regular than each log of pipeline runs should show incremental changes making it easier to spot the package that started breaking everything
