"aapt" IOException error=2, No such file or directory" why can't I build my gradle on jenkins?

Question

I have a little problem.

The Problem:
I am trying to build a gradle of my Android Project on Jenkins and now I am standing on this problem i can't resolve. During the Building I have this Error message:

:Client:mergeDebugResources
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/LMA-Client/Client/build/exploded-aar/com.google.android.gms/play-services/3.1.59/res/drawable-hdpi/common_signin_btn_text_focus_light.9.png: 
Error: Cannot run program "/opt/android-sdk/build-tools/19.0.1/aapt": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory
:Client:mergeDebugResources FAILED

You can imagine that this aapt... yep its there and the png... its there too, so the mistake must be somewhere else.

The Solution?
Now I googled 1-2 hours around, surfed on this great Website and what I found is that if Jenkins runs on a 64-bit system, I need to install the ia32-libs. Like that:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

now I tried that, and I couldn't install it:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch

so I tried to install "ia32-libs-multiarch", but again:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 : Depends: libgphoto2-2:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                            Depends: libsane:i386 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Finally
so finally im standing here and asking me: is that really the solution? And why should I install this thing? And how? So please help me, I think I am not far away from the answer.

@sschuberth No but its similar. The Solution in that other thread didn't work for me. A possible duplicate is this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18928164/android-studio-cannot-find-aapt/18930424#18930424 — Neifen, Mar 29 '16 at 12:05

I had the following similar error on Ubuntu 13.10:

Cannot run program "/usr/local/android-sdk-linux/build-tools/19.0.3/aapt": error=2, No such file or directory

And this answer fixed it for me:

To get aapt working (this fixed my issues with the avd as well) just install these two packages:
sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 lib32z1

building chrome on Ubuntu 14.04 and this helped get me by the same error I was having with aapt. Note ldd aapt now works, and shows dependencies. Previously it stated that the program wasn't a dynamic executable "not a dynamic executable". Now on to the next problem! – guyland123 Aug 19 '14 at 15:07
Amen! also fix node exec aapt issues – CesarTrigo Sep 17 '14 at 22:54
Fixed my issue as well on Ubuntu 14.04, while running an ionic framework build. – Khai Dinh Oct 21 '14 at 04:37
Thanks. That fixed it for me in Ubuntu 14.10. I presume it must require these 32 bit libraries which are not installed by default in 64 bit Ubuntu – Leo Moore Nov 03 '14 at 07:53
In CentOS, these packages are non-existent. yum install libstdc++-4.8.5-4.el7.i686 zlib.i686 . That worked for me. – JosephK Feb 15 '16 at 05:08
What about on a mac?? – IgorGanapolsky Aug 05 '16 at 13:49
Use brew on mac for same packages – Pinser Oct 05 '16 at 07:04
Confirmed this to be working on Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 as well. – Sep 20 '18 at 14:38
I had the same issue. Trying to execute `./aapt` manually returned "no such file or directory: ./aapt" (Zsh). This worked. – gervais.b May 14 '19 at 06:45

For Arch 64 users, you must first enable multilib for pacman, then install the 32-bit packages:

sudo pacman -Syv lib32-libstdc++5 lib32-zlib
