Blocks of type "dependencies" are not expected here

upgrading from terraform 0.11.14, in a main.tf file, we used to have a

terraform {
backend “gcs” {}
dependencies {
paths = ["…/…paths"]
}
}

but if we upgrade to >0.12 I get this error:

Error: Unsupported block type

on main.tf line 3, in terraform:
3: dependencies {

Blocks of type “dependencies” are not expected here.

So my question is what is the best way to get my dependencies loaded?

Thanks
