[Python-modules-team] Bug#849879: jupyter-nbextension-jupyter-js-widgets: fails to remove (python error)

[Ximin Luo]

Hi alberto,

Did you previously have jupyter-notebook version 4.2.3-2 installed? If so, then this is the same as:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=847917

and all you need to do is remove any empty *.json files in /etc/jupyter/nbconfig. Please also let me know, so that I can close this bug.

If it is not the same as the above linked issue, please send me the output of `ls -la /etc/jupyter/nbconfig` (and ideally the full contents) so that I can try to debug the problem.
