As start I would suggest to check out if you have the latest click packages

$ apt-cache policy click

should show you that you have 0.4.40+15.04.20151012-0ubuntu1 version 
from the SDK PPA.

If you do not have this version then please dist-upgrade.

Anyhow, if click chroot is acting up then you can fall back to the 
statick chroots what come from the ubuntu-sdk-api-15.04-armhf and 
ubuntu-sdk-api-15.04-i386 packages.

They bring you the very same chroot what click does, but it does not 
bootstrap the chroot, so it is a leaner and simpler way to set up the 
SDK build environment.

But please feel free to ping me on IRC if you need any help,
