Symfony 2.2 to 2.4 upgrade trouble, setDispatcher() not found - php

Question

I've been using Symfony 2.2 for quite a while and recently decided to upgrade to 2.4.
After running a composer update I receive this error message. It seems that the framework isn't able to find 'setDispatcher()' method for an unknown reason.
./composer.phar update
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
....
Writing lock file
Generating autoload files
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Console\Application::setDispatcher() in vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Bundle/FrameworkBundle/Console/Application.php on line 86
Script Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler::clearCache handling the post-update-cmd event terminated with an exception
[RuntimeException]
An error occurred when executing the "'cache:clear --no-warmup'" command.
I've been searching a lot but couldn't find any similar issue.
Maybe someone has seen something like this before. Here is my composer.json. I think the problem could be related to this file.

Answer 1

Ok, I found out what produced the error. The console version was to old resulting in loading the wrong class producing the error above.
Replacing
"symfony/console": "2.2.*#dev",
with
"symfony/console": "2.5.*#dev",
solved the problem.
