Error updating Meteor from 1.4.4.2 to 1.4.4.3

I am facing errors after updating meteor by running :

meteor update --patch

=> Meteor 1.5 is available. Update this project with 'meteor update'.
=> Started MongoDB.                           
=> Errors prevented startup:                  
   
   While selecting package versions:
   error: Potentially incompatible change required to top-level dependency:
   meteor-base 1.0.4, was 1.1.0.
   Constraints on package "meteor-base":
   * meteor-base@1.0.4 <- top level
   * meteor-base@1.0.4 <- top level
   
   To allow potentially incompatible changes to top-level dependencies, you
   must pass --allow-incompatible-update on the command line.
   
=> Your application has errors. Waiting for file change.

Is there any workaround to fix this?

I also had this.
I solved by manually modifying the meteor-base version in .meteor/versions (was @1.1.0, I put @1.0.4).

dynamic-import was also added to my packages (which is quite strange since it's a 1.5 feature).

I'm encountering the same issue with incompatible changes to meteor-base and dynamic-import. I too was surprised to see dynamic-imports added to my 1.4.4.x project.

Kind of disheartening to see this kind of failure in core meteor packages on a patch upgrade. I ran into something similar in the 1.4.2.x patch upgrade. I'm not sure why this isn't showing up in their upgrade testing.

Thanks for the resolution tip. I'll probably give 1.5 a shot or go back to 1.4.4.2 as I don't like being on a hybrid release.

Had the same problem didnt touch anything updated to 1.5 with meteor update.
Everything works!

Same results here. Moving to 1.5 worked. Which I'm happy about.
But updating to the patch should have worked too. Clearly a gap in the upgrade testing path.
Thanks @amneves

Updating to Meteor 1.5 fixed it for me. So if someone else is facing this issue, just run meteor update command again.
