gapps install on CM11 failed- or did it? Verizon Droid Razr Maxx

I got this error when I flashed the gapps zip:

After wiping the dalvik cache and rebooting I got an "Android is upgrading" message and I saw google maps and other apps.

Haven't dug into this yet, but I guess it worked? Whats the deal with that error I got? What part of the install failed and caused it to report a status of failed?
(I assume you are root user)

I don't know the error but I think you could extract the APKs from that zip and install them manually.

Then, with a tool like Link2SD you could long press each Google App and select the option "Convert in System app". That's pretyt much the same like flash the apps via recovery and zip (in this case).
