How to fix stuck app downloads [From the Forums]

This is also happening on 2.1 devices. Half/some/most of the time I update apps in the new Froyo'd Market, the app will install fine but the status bar ("Installing...") will cycle endlessly.
The fix for that is pretty easy, though. Go to Menu, Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, Market, Uninstall Updates. The next time you go to the Market, it's the standard Eclair Market. You'll have to agree to the Android Market terms of use, blah blah blah, but it will clear all the stuck status bars.
I've done this many, many times now and it works every time. Bit of a PITA, but I haven't seen any ill effects.
Of course, after about 10 minutes the Market is updated to the Froyo version... and the issue will happen again... and again...
