java.lang.NoSuchMethodError on upgrading to latest debezium ( void org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.KafkaOffsetBackingStore init )

Question

We have a simple spring boot 3.1 app that wraps debezium. We upgraded to the latest version 2.4.0.Final. Now getting this error at startup:

ERROR io.debezium.embedded.EmbeddedEngine - Unable to instantiate OffsetBackingStore class 'org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.KafkaOffsetBackingStore'
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.KafkaOffsetBackingStore.<init>(java.util.function.Supplier, java.util.function.Supplier, org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.Converter)'

The dependencies show up like this:

+- io.debezium:debezium-embedded:jar:2.4.0.Final:compile
|  +- io.debezium:debezium-core:jar:2.4.0.Final:compile
|  |  \- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:jar:2.15.0:compile
