Removing package-lock.json should be the last resort, at least for projects that have reached production status. After having the same error as described in this question, I found that my package-lock.json was corrupt, even though it was generated. One of the packages had itself as an empty dependency, in this example jsdoc:

        "jsdoc": {
        "version": "x.y.z",
        . . . . . . 
        "dependencies": {
            . . . . . ,
            "jsdoc": {},
            "taffydb": {
             . . . . . 

Please note I have omitted irrelevant parts of the code in this example.

I just removed the empty dependency "jsdoc": {}, and it was OK again.
