Error running gulp in cordova app because of graceful-js version-CodePudding

I'm trying to build a Cordova app and launching gulp causes the following issue:

ReferenceError: primordials is not defined
    at fs.js:47:5
    at req_ (/home/ubuntu/WebstormProjects/Edilapp/node_modules/natives/index.js:143:24)
    at Object.req [as require] (/home/ubuntu/WebstormProjects/Edilapp/node_modules/natives/index.js:55:10)

    at Module.require (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1022:19)
    at require (node:internal/modules/cjs/helpers:102:18)

In my project, I'd expect to have version 4.2.10, in fact my package.json contains this: "graceful-fs": "4.2.10". Also, if I explore the node_modules/graceful-fs folder, I actually find a README referring to v4 changes, i.e. I have the expected version.

Nevertheless, in package-lock.json file I see that [email protected] is included and it mentions that a version of [email protected] should be used. Similary, in the dependencies section I found glob, requiring "graceful-fs": "~1.2.0" and getting 1.2.3, gulp-cssmin requiring ~2.0.0 and getting 2.0.3, vinyl-fs requiring ~3.0.0 and getting 3.0.12.

This is my full package.json:

Node version: 18.7.0 Npm version: 8.18.0 Gulp cli version: 2.3.0 Gulp locale version: 3.9.1

How can I proceed?

Bruteforce solution: removed all versions package json except the constrained ones, then reinstalled every single dependency. It worked.
