@srishilesh msgpackr-extract is not a (required) dependency of gatsby. Or parcel. Or lmdb-js. Or msgpackr. So if you have not explicitly added msgpackr-extract as a dependency in your package.json, this should just be logging noise, not a real failure. Also, this is because node.js v10 is not a supported version of node (according to node.js themselves, and generally unsafe to use due to a lack of security patches).
