Marvellous, thanks, that helped sort out my problem.  I didn't have the PPA installed - as Niklas Wenzel mentioned, on the install page it said it was in the repository, so being a good lad I followed the instructions and didn't add the PPA - I see the site has been updated to instruct always adding the PPA, now.  I also had all the kits installed and included, but I also had the desktop kit included so I could test it locally, and it was this that seemed to cause the problem in the 14.10 repo version. Removing it then alllowed me to package it. However I then got an out-of-date dev version, and then adding in the PPA and updating, then fixed this.  The package option does seem to work in the lastest version with the desktop kit included, but if anyone else has a similar problem (and finds this in the archives), then try removing the desktop (localPC) kit (however, as I mentioned, in the latest version this does seem to work, now) when you package.

Anyway, I now have my app installed on my phone - it's only a rubbish wrapper of the Mozilla website, but now I can get working on something more useful.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated
Phil

 I have the same problem as this question http://askubuntu.com/questions/548801/ubuntu-sdk-cannot-create-click-package-and-cannot-create-emulator
 - note that the screenshot showing the click package
 creation on there doesn't seem to be quite right.  I
 have what is described, but this is no test tree, and only
 the "Validate existing Click package" is enabled,
 the create and install ones are disabled.

 Hi Phil,
 
 first thing to check: Do you
 have the UbuntuSDK ppa enabled? Thats the 
 main channel to always get the most recent
 version
 of the SDK:
 
 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa
 && sudo apt-get update 
 &&
 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install
 ubuntu-sdk
 
 The
 "command failed" message comes probably from the
 fact that the 
 click-review tool returns a
 error code because of the warning,
 that does
 not mean that there was no click package created. The click
 
 package is put always in the builddirectory
 of the active
 buildconfiguration. We are
 about to release a update to the publish tab 
 that should not show that anymore.
 
 If only the "validate
 existing click package" is enabled it means that 
 you currently have a Kit selected or project
 loaded that can not
 be used for click
 packaging. You need to use a Ubuntu-SDK Kit (can be 
 created in Tools->Options->Ubuntu->
 create chroot or alternatively on
 the
 devices page if you have a device/emulator attached).
 
 Also if you are on IRC, ping
 me there my nick there is zbenjamin on 
 channel #ubuntu-app-devel, #ubuntu-touch,
 #ubuntu-devel (freenode).
 
 Cheers,
 
 Benjamin
