Root Can't install google maps 4.4 update

This worked great for me: (from Droid life)

1. Open Terminal Emulator and type in the follow commands:

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 dev/block/mtdblock4 system
rm system/app/Maps.apk
cd system/bin
sh pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
cd ..
cd ..
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 dev/block/mtdblock4 system
sync

2. You can now attempt to install the Google Maps update.

3. If it fails the first time, just cancel the download and try again. If it fails again, reboot and try.

4. Done!

I read this on another forum ...

gave me a failure message
