"OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error" when try fdroid update

[ggroft]

Hi, I have a problem with fdroidserver v1.0.8 running on debian jessie.
Edit: Tried with fdroidserver v1.0.0, the problem is the same.
Without any apk in repo, fdroid update runs succesfully, but wen i put some apk-s to repo i get this error:

fdroid update -v
DEBUG: Reading ‘config.py’
DEBUG: Processing openvpn-connect-3-0-5.apk
CRITICAL: Unknown exception found!

How can i fix this error?

System: Debian 8 Jessie
Fdroidserver: v1.0.8
Android sdk:

• build-tools: v28.0.1
• platforms: v28

My guess is that you’re using the latest platform with an old fdroidserver.

Can you try to clone fdroidserver from git and use that instead?

Seems like something is wrong with the version of aapt that fdroid update found. Try setting a specific version with either build_tools = ... or aapt = ... in config.py. If that fails, try running aapt dump badging openvpn-connect-3-0-5.apk from the terminal.
