I had the same issue when I tried to install manually yunohost on a Rock64 board.
Here are the logs from /var/log/yunohost-installation_20190710_071327.log :

Yea I just got this “issue” a few minutes earlier setting up a regular VPS … it doesn’t seem to prevent any issue with the next steps (postinstallation) but it’s quite puzzling that there are no pending operations as it really sounds like dpkg was not able to do some stuff …
Yet as you point out, running apt install debhelper does nothing in particular, nor does dpkg --configure -a or apt install -f …
Well uh in fact the installation should have worked … I mean, the yunohost stuff are installed (I think ? if it stopped at the same step as you ?)
Just that the script saw that some error happened and think the installation might be unusable … but turns out it is usable and you can proceed with yunohost tools postinstall
But granted that it’s definitely a bug and should be investigated and fixed …
