Cannot upgrade 7.6.3 -> 7.6.5 Tomcat failure No qualifying bean of type 'org.dspace.google.GoogleAsyncEventListener'

With clean unmodified code (all customization removed) i'm receiving a critical error while starting Tomcat (tail of the message):

This was introduced in 7.6.4 it fails similarly. 7.6.3 works OK

As far as i checked, the googleAsyncEventListener class has not changed since 7.6.3, similarly dspace/config/spring/rest/event-service-listeners.xml stays the same

This upgrade attempt was run on a copy of production data, i believe i followed the upgrade documentation well

Any ideas, please? Thanks.
