[Android-tools-devel] Serious bugs and errors in android tools and gradle build process on Debian 10 Buster.

[Fluff Rabbit]

Vim is a Linux meme, but you really shouldn't need more than a text editor to edit your Java,  C/C++, XML, etc. That way you know what changes when things change, like when `android update project` was deprecated in favor of Gradle. An IDE such as Android Studio hides the details from you, and there are a lot of details with something as complex as an APK. It's the little bugs that creep in and get you, at least if you're relying on these packages.
