Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) I found following question about very similar problem on ubuntu. It might not be distro specific. Build Error while converting python file into apk using buildozer

Answer 1

This is a very generic error, it could mean a lot of things.

One thing to check is that you have buildozer's dependencies installed...in particular, I think the lack of a jdk (and javac) can cause this. Do you have these?
