------------------------------+-------------------------
 It seems that running `npm sync-gutenberg-packages` results in some
 packages being duplicated within the `package-lock.json` file despite
 `prefer-dedupe` being set to `true` in `.npmrc`.

 To test, run the following steps and committing after each one to a test
 branch, or staging changes so further changes are trackable:
 - run `npm dedupe` on `trunk` to properly dedupe.
 - run `npm sync-gutenberg-packages`.
 - run `npm dedupe`.

 There is also the following error when running `sync-gutenberg-packages`:

 > wordpress-develop/tools/release/sync-gutenberg-packages.js:110
 > const versionConflicts = Object.entries( packageLock.dependencies )
 > TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object
