Instagram 4.1 Update Error “Package File is Invalid”

When I try to update my Android Instagram App to version 4.1, I get the error “Package file is invalid”. I tried this update both on my HTC One Google Play Edition and my 2013 Nexus 7 and I get the same error. Did anyone else run into this error and if so were you able to fix it?

Instagram Update Error

Update: I was able to get my HTC One to update over mobile data, previously I was trying to update over WiFi. Thanks for the tip xdadevelopers forum.  I just updated my 2013 Nexus Seven over WiFi and it worked, so apparently the bug was fixed.
