Error com.google.android.gms/play-services/8.4.0/ gradle:2.0.0-alpha5

Question

After updating the SDK AndroidStudio told me to update to gradle:2.0.0-alpha5. When I build/run the app gradle fails and says:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac'. java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/pepperonas/IdeaProjects/Android/M104/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.google.android.gms/play-services/8.4.0/jars/classes.jar (No such file or directory)

Downgrading to gradle:2.0.0-alpha3 will solve it, but I want to use the newest version.

Does any body know how to fix it?

(Note: I use AndroidStudio 2.0 Preview 5)

As always, thanks in advance.

Found the solution:

Updating will do the trick.

'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha9'

UPDATE (2015-02-28)

alpha9 is available now
