Hi Nick Thanks
In the end I gave up with deb and built the source code. That seems to have worked, but wasn't plain sailing as not all the dependencies were there, but I was able to get them without much hassle. I just have to create the 3 databases. Interesting that the error message that comes for the missing databases is as per the install instructions and the documentation says we'll fix that in a minute, but never does unless I missed something ;-) I googled!!
