Official GMail update in market won't install

[jpayne97]

I get an error box with the message "Package file was not signed correctly.". On sapphire 1.1.1.

You have to delete the gmail.apk from the /system/app. Root explorer is an easy way. Terminal is another, but I'm not good with commands.

+1 on Root Explorer--there is not a lot it can't do

Ok, I did these commands in terminal and it worked AFTER a reboot.
su
cd /system/app
sysrw
rm Gmail.apk
sysro
<rebooted> Wouldn't work before the reboot.
Then installed from market.

[pdroid]

however, in terminal:

su
sysrw
rm /system/app/Gmail.apk
sysro

Cool..this works for me. just need to reboot before installing.

Worked fine after reboot.... figured that was what was needed, but nice to see a thread had been started.

Where does this install to. I don't see the apk in system/app.

Where does this install to. I don't see the apk in system/app.

Probably installs to /data/app.

Yup, and that's why you have to remove the one in system/app. It installs in /data/app as com.google.android.gm-1.apk because god forbid it be easy to find.
