Android Build Failed: "Entry 'META-INF/MANIFEST.MF' name differ"

[Baldi]

Hello,
I have just been starting to use the android licence. Yesterday night I was able to build the project fine, today I open it up and it won't build anymore.
This is the bottom half of the build log; it seems to mention the issue, but I cannot interpret it:

Igor complete.

My guess is that something automatically updated its version and is now incompatible? If that is the case, how can I avoid this in the future? Thanks!
