fnm instead of nvm but that's the same.Might be related to the version of graceful-fs.
The following issue mentions a similar problem with regards to graceful-fs - https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra/issues/703
npm v6.10.0 and above use graceful-fs v4.2.0, while npm v6.9.2 uses graceful-fs v4.1.15.
v6.10.0 Changelog - commit e36b3c320

@bnoordhuis Thanks for the comment.
I might be mistaken but, we're speaking about an old npm version which is working with Node.js up to v12.18.2 and doesn't work with Node.js v12.18.3 which was released recently.
So unless I'm missing something, sounds like the issue is with Node.js and specifically the release of v12.18.3 which for some reason breaks those old npm versions. And I didn't see anything about it in the Changelog so I assume it's unintentional.
