When I go to create the patch using npx patch-package <mistaken-reference-to-non-existing-package> I get the following syntax error:
... /node_modules/fs-extra/lib/mkdirs/make-dir.js:85
} catch {
^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

The patch-package dependency that is causing the error:
"fs-extra": "^9.0.0",
So, to be clear the operation works as expected when the package name is correct. However, if I make a mistake on the name of the package to be patched, it gives this error that suggests something else is wrong.
I hope this helps the next person interpret this error :))
Thank you for this patch utility.
I'm using the latest (as of today), versions of the patch packages.
Other versions: node: 18.10.0 yarn: 1.22.21
