Play store's error 941

[icefront]

It's getting really annoying and also I'm wondering how this error got through the testing... In my circle lots of people have android devices and all these show error 941.
Scenario: trying to install any app stops with error 941. The second attempt succeeds. For the next app the error shows up again.
The known techniques (clearing Play store's cache/data, rebooting) does not help, the error comes back after a few app installs...
Is there any known solution or just have to wait for an update?

Welcome to Android Central! Have you also tried clearing the Download Manager's cache and data?

Same for me here in Sweden! And my wife (i9195)!

I got the same error twice yesterday. It sometimes was a different error but as the op said on the second attempt it always worked.
I'll try to clear the download manager cache and data as Diddy said.

Yes tried this also, but the error is still there.
Anyway I think it's a bug, otherwise why would an app crash by reading back it's own data from the cache? Or properly written try catch code branch may recover easily from reading improper data from the cache...
