You can try deleting the contents of the following folder (or the folder relating to the Xamarin.Android.Support library in question):

~/.local/share/Xamarin/Xamarin.Android.Support.v4/23.1.1.0

Clean and rebuild.

If that doesn't work try the following:

Download the zip file mentioned in the error - in this case:

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/android_m2repository_r25.zip

Rename the zip file to the hash of the zip - in this case:

0B3F1796C97C707339FB13AE8507AF50.zip

Place the new zip file into the following folder:

~/.local/share/Xamarin/zips

Clean and rebuild.
