Install of apk packages fails with freshly installes Android runtime

I've recently cleaned up my dalvik installation because of minor Problems, I installed the Android runtime again but no apps at that time. I then upgraded to 1.1.0.39 and tried to install some apks, mainly fdroid and threema. But when i tried to launch the apk install via file browser nothing happened. I then installed the Aptoide Appstore and tried it again, since then all apks are installable. I haven't tried it on the commandline though.

I'm now wondering if this is a bug or if a fresh installed Aliendalvik runtime needs some activation, like a Appstore.

Edit: Things that help: - Install one of the Android Stores. - Use KillDroid or Sailfish Utilities to restart the Android Service - Go to the Terminal, get root with devel-su, and restart the aliendalvik service manually. Interestingly enough systemctl start aliendalvik.service does not work, it hast to be systemctl restart aliendalvik.service
