I've found that when this happens, going into the application in Market and just hitting install actually successfully updates the app even though the button said install and the app was already installed.
Market has been really problematic of late. Recently also it has become stuck in the download state for an application and trying to cancel it causes Market to FC on a NPE. I reported the bug on b.android.com yet it has not even been looked at. -Eric On Nov 5, 12:35 pm, Kostya Vasilyev <kmans...@gmail.com> wrote: > Some more information on this old topic: > > Sometimes Market fails up install application updates.
