It was bound to happen.
Way too many daemons are running linked with libraries that just got 
updated.
That said, I think that unless you want to boot with the updated kernel, you
can get away with just doing;

sudo init 1
Once you are in the single user shell, issue

init 5

This will at least get you running the the latest apps and libs while
staying with the currently booted kernel.
