This isn't an answer but a rant. I don't feel quite comfortable doing this, but I'm just too frustrated on Jolla's failure on an extremely important moment.
How is it possible that you didn't test that your devices still work with a fresh Jolla account after updates? Christmas is definitely the most important season for any mobile manufacturer and you didn't check that everything is running smoothly then people get their brand new phones!
Like it or not, Maps is a key app for many users and it's totally unacceptable that it is still impossible to install it from the Jolla store (unless you previously had it installed). And what is even worse, you have failed on communications – once again. There are a huge number of comments on Store with no answer from Jolla.
New user, who are affected by this bug, don't necessary find together.jolla.com or any other place to seek support. And if they do, it doesn't really matter, because this question have received zero attention by Jolla Sailors. And you should already know about it; at least I got your standard non-answer on Twitter. So you are "looking in to it", but that's a small consolation when no-one knows if and when the bug may get fixed. Should people just keep trying to install Maps and hope that some day things will be all ok, would it be better to put the phone back into the box and try again next Christmas, or should they just they just learn to live without mobile maps?
I totally understand that Jolla is a small company and your are understaffed during major holiday season, but you just can't let new users down. Especially on a moment like this. It will hurt your reputation so bad.
Even if you don't know what is going on and can't fix it right a way, you must communicate! People may or may not understand your situation but if you just ignore the new Jolla phone owners, you will loose those customers and they for sure won't recommend Jolla to anybody. So, please tell us what is the situation of this issue and post some sort of statement to Jolla Store comments also.

Vlad ( 2014-12-23 21:48:09 +0200 )editSame problem here. Bought new phone yesterday and immediately updated to 1.1.1.27 without installing maps. Now maps app can't be installed from store.
In terminal pkcon search can't find sailfish-maps package.
nogreatnamesleft ( 2014-12-23 23:16:55 +0200 )editXD i guess this is not the best moment for this bug ;)because christmas a lot of new jolla will be updated and nearly everyone will try to install maps ;)
Vlad ( 2014-12-23 23:30:13 +0200 )editI also have a brand new Jolla phone, installing Maps did not work with whatever version it came with. Then I did an update to the latest version, tried to reinstall Maps for Jolla Store."Waiting" for a long time, then message "Problem with Store Could not install Maps".
