Issue

I run the command composer require drupal/search_api_solr:^4.1 but I am getting the following error

You are using Composer 2, which some of your plugins seem to be incompatible with. Make sure you update your plugins or report a plugin-issue to ask them to support Composer 2.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

I tried the same with different versions of the composer by upgrading and degrading it. Also, updated the composer.lock file as "composer-plugin-api": "^1.0 || ^2.0", but no luck yet. Am I doing anything wrong?
