I'm getting errors updating a site with composer. I've updated a lot of times this site with a simple "composer update", but this time I'm getting a php error.

Curiously "composer update --dry-run" does not produce any error:

But "composer update" fails:

I solved this problem after a lot of searching. It seems that doing this update using the composer in vendor/bin tries to update symfony/finder, it erases all the content of this directory, and then it complains that it cannot find a function which is defined there. The solution for me was to do a "php composer.phar update". It seems composer.phar has all the libraries inside and so it completes the update.

This is the source that gave me this idea:
