Updating installed modules breaks angular material

Unable to update modules

Trying to update modules via npm update, the whole of the Angular Material module breaks down and throws error :

This was the error thrown by Webpack.

After the dist directory was purged, the error

MaterialModule has no exported member.

Creating and using a custom material module, like shown in issue #4137 led to a

No provider for MdDialogRef

How to work around it?
