これは?

以下の記述が
packagingOptions {
resources {
excludes += "META-INF/rxjava.properties"
}
}
これになりました。
fun Packaging.() {
resources {
excludes += "META-INF/rxjava.properties"
}
}
なんだかおかしいです?

こうですね。
packaging {
resources {
excludes += "META-INF/rxjava.properties"
}
}
ついでに、短くしておきます。
packaging {
resources.excludes += "META-INF/rxjava.properties"
}
これでOK。
