After upgrading several SDKs and Android Studio to 2.3 this morning, i got the usual slew of failures associated with that. I'm stuck at starting the emulator because some API changed. I get the following:

Running command: android list avds
Command finished with error code 2: android list,avds
Error: android: Command failed with exit code 2
  at ChildProcess.whenDone (/home/mario/src/mobile/regibox/app/platforms/android/cordova/node_modules/cordova-common/src/superspawn.js:169:23)
  at emitTwo (events.js:87:13)
  at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:172:7)
  at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:854:16)
  at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:222:5)

Running the command myself gives me

$ android list avds
*************************************************************************
The "android" command is deprecated.
For manual SDK, AVD, and project management, please use Android Studio.    
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager
*************************************************************************    
Invalid or unsupported command "list avds"

Supported commands are:
android list target    
android list avd       
android list device    
android create avd     
android move avd       
android delete avd     
android list sdk       
android update sdk

Here's what i currently have:

$ cordova -v
6.5.0

$ cordova platform ls
Installed platforms:
 android 6.2.0
Available platforms: 
 amazon-fireos ~3.6.3 (deprecated)
 blackberry10 ~3.8.0
 browser ~4.1.0
 firefoxos ~3.6.3
 ubuntu ~4.3.4
 webos ~3.7.0

Now my question is what package must i update and how? Or what package issues

android list avds

This is on linux.

The issue seems to be from the cordova android platform implementation.

You can upgrade to the latest (master) version using:

cordova platform add https://github.com/apache/cordova-android

(copied from https://stackoverflow.com/a/42797817)

Unfortunately, the issue is still present even in the master version (see source code), but will presumably be fixed soon.

As a workaround, you could rename the android utility, anyway it seems to be deprecated as far as I understand:

mv $ANDROID_HOME/tools/android $ANDROID_HOME/tools/android.bak

Ok, this upgrade also screwed up SD card support on android kitkat. There my solution was to downgrade sdk-tool to 25.2.5. More about this here 4.1 android emulator not detecting sd card

At this point i must say that upgrading android-sdk and android-studio to 2.3 has been a complete disaster that i don't recommend to anyone, unless they have a couple of days of extra time.

It looks like the new version of Android SDK is causing a lot of bugs in cordova build/run system.

As a workaround for now you can edit this file in your project:

./platforms/android/cordova/lib/emulator.js

Find this line (mine is line 119):

return superspawn.spawn('android', ['list', 'avds'])

Change it by:

return superspawn.spawn('android', ['list', 'avd'])

It would work, it works for me.
