Spyder Does Not Launch After Updating Anaconda Packages

See original GitHub issue

Problem Description

I have Anaconda Python Distribution. After executing the conda update conda and conda update --all commands, Spyder no longer launches. Among the updated packages is spyder-kernels (updated to v1.0.1).

What steps reproduce the problem?

Execute conda update conda from Anaconda Prompt.
Execute conda update --all from Anaconda Prompt.
Launch Spyder.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Spyder should launch.
