How do I fix this error?

I also had this issue recently, I didn't investigate further, but I could workaround by creating the two missing sub-directories.
The error was:

Making the mkdir -p .buildozer/android/platform/build/dists/pywallet/ made it.
Additional infos:

• buildozer==0.34
• python2 host and target
• p4a.branch = master

[AndreMiras]

I believe this is fixed with recent p4a updates.
Feel free to re-open otherwise

Had this issue, too. The latest python, p4a.branch = develop, buildozer 1.2.0.
Fixed by mkdir -p .buildozer/android/platform/build/dists/appname__arch
