Installing Briar from F-Droid fails

On my samsung nexus (maguro), running Replicant 6.0, installing Briar via F-Droid fails with the following message:

Error installing Briar Beta
Failed to install due to an unknown error

I pulled the following from logcat:

E Installer: Permissions in APK and index.xml do not match!
