Dear "crashtest" & dear "Agricola!
I suspected today, that my apache, node red, sqlite and mosquitto installations are conflicting with the installation of openmediavault.
So I have installed Debian from the scratch and managed straight to install openmediavault via armbian-config tool.
Thanks a lot for your support.
yes it does. Just did it this morning.
I have just tried it and it exits, after the verification of the security key, but with no further error messages issued 
Alles anzeigenOK, with a few more details, can I assume that you're using Armbian?
If so, Armbian has a menu driven software installer that (I believe) includes Openmediavault as 3rd party software. (I think it's under the "Softy" menu selection.) Have you tired that?
On the CLI, sudo armbian-config

Sorry, initially I missed "Armbian".
Here the error code I could see after "aptitude install openmediavault"
[sh: 2: /etc/default/openmediavault: Syntax error: newline unexpected
E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Pre-Invoke '. /etc/default/openmediavault; if [ ! -e ${OMV_DPKGARCHIVE_DIR}/Packages ]; then echo Building local package repository ...; cd ${OMV_DPKGARCHIVE_DIR} && apt-ftparchive packages . > Packages && apt-ftparchive release . > Release; fi'
E: Sub-process returned an error code
]
I am guessing, the problem might be linked to access right, if you are confirming that both installation methods work.
What might be the problem with "OMV_DPKGARCHIVE_DIR"??

I did try first to use the installation menu of Armbian, which did not work 
@crashtest
Many thanks for your kind reply!
The procedure you are indicating in your reply for installation is the one I have applied. I have added the source package link and then I executed the script, where I get the error cited in my post above [ sh: 3: /etc/default/openmediavault: Syntax error: newline unexpected...]
[Apt-get doesn't work (correctly)] : so far I did not suspect apt-get since I could install a lot of apps with it but without problems as Mosquito, node red, apache etc... In case apt-get is the problem, then which alternative command could replace it..? Any recommendation!
I can not use the iso, since there is no image for the hardware I am using.
I am using ssh of Linux mint v19. 1 to access the armbian device (amlogic s912 CPU).
In the moment I have no clue, where to start looking for the root of the error. It seems to stop the installation due to an error coming from some where while executing the installation script.
Is it an error in the xml file or access right in my system or something else..?
i buddies!
I have issues installing openmediavault. Can any one help me?
I have followed the instructions as on this forum , when I get to execute the installation command it prompts:
