Hi there, and good luck with your venture...
In general, all the work that is described in the tutorial that you are following, is about setting up the AOSP interface layer between the Ubuntu Touch image and your device. (Maybe this can be more clearly seen by the deploying guide, here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Deploying , but this is for much later). As such, the procedure is very close to the work of bringing AOSP to a device... and there is a lot of support for that in popular forums, such as xda, where the user base is much larger, and you will be getting a lot more feedback (I presume).
Now, about your question, a quick search with mr. google says things related to mixup between 64bit and 32bit packages. Your problem is it is more like setting up the development environment properly than anything else...
