Unable to merge dex Android 3.0.1

Question

I have received this Error in a sudden, and I try clean and rebuild the project it doesn't work at all. I pretty sure that I didn't change anything in the app/build.gradle file. I just change the layout of a few files, and it ends up with this error

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug'. > java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

Error after Clean build and rebuild

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'. java.io.IOException: Can't write [/home/zzz/AndroidStudioProjects/GorillaChat/app/build/intermediates/multi-dex/debug/componentClasses.jar] (Can't read [/home/zzz/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/support-core-ui-27.1.0.aar/e7e0f4a17f7b0340baac46b45e4bb4b9/jars/classes.jar(;;;;;;**.class)] (Duplicate zip entry [classes.jar:android/support/design/widget/CoordinatorLayout$Behavior.class]))

Examine your Gradle console. There should be more details in there of exactly what went wrong. This is just the end message. See [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/q/48990598/115145) for an example. — CommonsWare, Feb 28 '18 at 16:39

@shadowsheep ya, after I did a clean build and rebuild it showed the error of Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'. > java.io.IOException: Can't write [/home/zzz/AndroidStudioProjects/GorillaChat/app/build/intermediates/multi-dex/debug/componentClasses.jar] (Can't read [/home/zzz/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/support-core-ui-27.1.0.aar/e7e0f4a17f7b0340baac46b45e4bb4b9/jars/classes.jar(;;;;;;**.class)] (Duplicate zip entry [classes.jar:android/support/design/widget/CoordinatorLayout$Behavior.class])) — zisean, Feb 28 '18 at 17:51
