When are you calling this? One conceivable scenario would be if you are doing this a bit asynchronously from your activity (e.g., AsyncTask). If the user fired up your activity, then hustled over to uninstall it, *and* if the uninstall process were to update the package info before terminating your process, *and* your background work called getPackageInfo() between the update of PackageManager and your process being terminated, I can see you getting this error. Even assuming all the implementation stuff works as described, though, this seems like a low-probability event.
Beyond that, all I can think of are gremlins.
