Same problem with GoogleMaps, applied the 1rst post tweak under Recovery with ADB, and GREAT, that's worked for me too !:good: :good:
Be careful: in my case I have modded 2 files: the first one is "packages.xml" and the 2nd one is "packages-more-backup", same directory same size.
Then delete the Dalvik-Cache and gooo :highfive:

Tried it and more, but...

So I didn't use adb (what the heck is abd anyway) but have a root explorer app and titanium backup. Used titanium backup to remove Google maps (my problem app), found two files in the Dalvik cache and deleted them, then copied the packages.xml file and deleted everything from <shared user> to </shared user> for the maps info. Took the new xml and copied it back into data/system and then reboot. From there Iv'e tried using the play store and the apk to install maps 6.14.2, not at the same time, mind you. I did all that before using either install method and still haven't been able to resolve this. Usually the only issue I have is with the packages not signed correctly which is fixed with Titanium Backup and a reboot, but this is new and a lasting problem still.

I tried doing this, but I think I'm doing something wrong because it didn't do anything for me, I still have the error when trying to install Google Play Services. I can't sign in to YouTube. -.- Is this already ineffective?

I attempted the method you mentioned and got the error I didn't have permission to chmod the file, luckily I had a copy of the apk (No its not piracy, the app is free, GO SMS." and could simply use ES file explorer to navigate to and run the apk.
Installation then went without a problem

Just thought i'd share how I did it.

I can hardly believe you asked what the heck abd is and you have managed to even get this far.
adb is a small program that runs in the console window to allow sending commands back and forth, more can be found about this on a quick google, for some things, i.e. this problem you WILL BE REQUIRE to use adb as somethings it can do that built in file explorers cant "like chmoding a file"

Peace

I have same problem with Gmaps but the method in post#1 can not solves this. I found a moded_signture apk of an older version some where in net. I install the file direct from sdcard, run it normaly. Then, open the Play Store, search the Maps of Google and open it. At this screen, I can uninstall the Google Maps from Play Store, then reinstall it from play store and it is ok.

The method in post #1 solved for me.

However, I couldn't su in adb shell correctly. It would run but not give me the #, so the chmod commands/delte davilik-cache I ran from my phones terminal. Then pulled the packages.xml. Found the shared-user apps.map entry, deleted the entire block, saved, pushed back to phone. Deleted the cache. Rebooted.

Opened Play store, installed maps. Worked great.

Thanks to OP for awesome solving this.

How did you do it? I'm having the same problem in GoSms now, and I want to know how you did it. I mean, what dalvik cache to be deleted.

Open root explorer go to /data/data, find the file com.file name here.android, delete said file, go back to play store, reinstall app. This method worked for me.

    EDIT 31aug2012: also this message appears if there is no "classes.dex" in the apk

    Hi,

    When you try to install certain apk you might get this error when using "adb install something.apk"

    Andoid creates "shared users" like app_1 app_3 etc for packages you install. These UID's are like 10001, 10002, 10003 etc.

    Sometimes the administration of these shared users gets messed up and you get error messages like:

    INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE


    The shared user administration is kept in /data/system:

    -rw-rw-r-- system system 129933 2011-08-15 12:08 packages.xml


    How to solve? You need a rooted phone and adb:

    adb shell chmod 666 /data/system/packages.xml

    adb pull /data/system/packages.xml

    Now edit (notepad++) and remove the shared user in question xml block from the file:
    Code: 
    <shared-user name="com.navngo" userId="10000">
<sigs count="1">
<cert index="4" />
</sigs>
<perms>
<item name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<item name="android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD" />
<item name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<item name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<item name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<item name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS" />
<item name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<item name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<item name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
<item name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<item name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<item name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
</perms>
</shared-user>

    adb push packages.xml /data/system

    adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/*

    adb reboot

    Now you should be able to install that apk.

    Cheers

    This problem might also be solved using ad uninstall command. (only for user apps)

    Lets keep the same program as above as an example the you type from a dos box:

    adb uninstall com.navngo.igo.javaclient

    Now install it again. You need to know the package name. You can open the apk with winrar/zip and view the AndroidManifest.xml file. There you see the package name.

    Cheers

    Comment out shared-user name="android.uid.shared" xml block

    mylifeisjourney said:
    Hi,

    I followed the instructions to remove section of android.uid.system in packages.xml. But after reboot, I felt that this file was re-generated and overwritten by system itself. I still can't install my app due to the same incompatible error.

    Any help? Thanks!

    android.uid.system (id 1000) is used for installing packages and I think this trick only works for 10.000 and higher id's.

    Use google to find out more about the problem: https://www.google.com/search?num=40&hl=en&q=android.uid.system
