Using latest Ladybug patch 1 on Mac OSX arm64, I checked out the Jetcaster project (https://github.com/android/compose-samples/tree/main), and after syncing, I pressed Cmd-F9 to build the project.

It fails with the following error:

2 files found with path 'rome-utils-1.18.0.jar'.
Adding a packaging block may help, please refer to
https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.7/com/android/build/api/dsl/Packaging
for more information

Note that this build error has no error location associated with it. From looking at the error panel tab (see screenshot) I can guess that it's related to the core/domain/ module. But it should be telling me more information -- which dependencies are bringing in the two versions. And ideally the error message should tell me more specifically how to avoid it. If the two files are identical (which I suspect they are, given that the path has the version number in it) I'm assuming this is just a matter of telling it to use one / skip one.

But the link we're pointing to in the error message, "https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.7/com/android/build/api/dsl/Packaging for more information" isn't really helpful -- it's just the javadoc for the DSL API! I would have hoped for more dedicated information on how to resolve a conflict like this.
