This can happen when trying to view an app's listing from My Apps.
If you just want to update an app, then try "Update all". If however, the app is "Manual Update" then you need to long-press on the app and from there you can "Update".
Note: the long-press functionality is not available in the latest version of the Play Store app (3.0.26) released mid July 2011 (so please use the "Update all" approach or switch to a paid-app country sim card). - Downgraded to Lite (displayed in Hanping Pro's About screen when the Pro license cannot be found)
