Trouble upgrading to Laravel 4.1

Question

I'm having trouble upgrading to 4.1.

I've followed the upgrade guide in the docs but when I run composer update, I get the following error: Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-update-cmd event returned with an error

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Foundation\Application::bindShared() in /site/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Queue/FailConsoleServiceProvider.php on line 26 {"error":{"type":"Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException","message":"Call to undefined method Illuminate\Foundation\Application::bindShared()","file":"/site/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Queue/FailConsoleServiceProvider.php","line":26}}Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-update-cmd event returned with an error

[RuntimeException]
Error Output: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Foundat ion\Application::bindShared() in /site/vendor
/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Queue/FailConsoleServiceProvider.php on l ine 26

However, if I create a new project and use the same composer.json file, it runs successfully.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here is the contents of my composer.json file:

Quick update. I've got it to work now. I had a few packages in my workbench directory which each had their own composer.json file. I had to update the require section to read:

"require": {
        "php": ">=5.3.0",
        "illuminate/support": "4.*"
    },
