This is the error message we use for Bug 1042935 Comment 16.

Either Android's package manager has screwed up installation of an upgrade, or it's screwing up a shared library load across shared UIDs.

This isn't a recoverable error; if rebooting doesn't fix things, then only an uninstall will help.
