Apktool fails on resource decoding

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download JA Sensei application verion 3.2.2 (it's free app)
2. Try to d[ecode] it with apktool
3. Apktool fails to do it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It seems there is some trouble in decoding resourses. If I provide --no-res 
switch, all works fine. But I need unpacked resources too =)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I've tried ApkTool version 1.5.2 and 2.0.0rc3 on Gentoo GNU/Linux x86_64, 
OpenJDK 1.7.0_71

Please provide any additional information below.

1.5.2 is not supported, thus will not work.
2.0.0 RC3 will work, but you forgot an instruction during upgrade.

Read #717, #720 or #732.

Give FrameworkFiles a read. It seems you need to delete 
$HOME/apktool/framework/1.apk

WOW, thanks for the fast reply! It really seems that I've totally forgot about 
framework files. Very sorry, all works fine now with 2.0.0rc3!
