I'm trying to use the new manifest merger with Gradle 1.11 and Android plugin 0.10.1, in order to use the new
${packageName} facility to support different search suggestions on my various app flavors.
The old merge system worked (merging two Manifest files), but the new one fails with the titular error. Apart from the package name injection, I'm not using any of the new merge features and my manifest files do not overlap, but contain completely separate elements (apart from the root manifest and the application singleton).
Regretably, the log file doesn't contain any indication of the specific node that caused the problem…
