Ok, now WTF?!

Gotcha! 32bit. ia32-libs does this, right?

Ok, a few minutes later I could do a:

apt-get --no-install-recommends install ia32-libs-multiarch

And..

root@javaone:/home/jenkins/opt/sdk/android-sdk/platform-tools# ./aapt
<pre><pre>Android Asset Packaging Tool

Usage:
 aapt l[ist] [-v] [-a] file.{zip,jar,apk}
 List contents of Zip-compatible archive.

It works. Let's make a chef out of it and be happy 🙂
