What did you update first before you noticed it broke?

Are you sure you do not have any outdated weston components lying
around? Like any of the backend or shell .so files? You do run 'make
install' for weston before trying to run it?

If your update crosses some wayland-scanner changes, you'd better 'git
clean -dxf' all wayland, weston, and mesa, to make sure the protocol
files get regenerated. But sounds like you already tried that.

Which 3D driver are you using?
