Hello everyone!  
Due a my error, I reinstalled Armbian, Node Red etc... on Armbian Buster with Linux 4.14.174-odroidxu4

Everything worked, but ... (there is always a "but :))  
I can't install "node-red-node-sqlite" from the command line or from the web:

```auto

I tried, just for test, with "node-red-node-mysql": no error.

An npm -v returns 6.14.4 and node -v v12.16.2

Can you help me?

Thank you.

Maybe this will help [https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/2647](https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/2647)  
then retry.
