That's probably the cause of the problem, but there is still the question
of whether "state" is used in some customization that the OP has done
or whether there are inconsistencies in the update (i.e. old bits lying
around and being used in preference to the new ones).

If tne cure is not obvious given the hints that various people have
given, I would suggest M-x toggle-debug-on-error and posting the
backtrace.
