Did you install via SSH? "broken pipe" would mean an SSH timeout in that case. You can tweak your sshd config to keep the connection alive, but a simpler solution would just be to press Enter every so often at the terminal, to keep the connection alive.

Another "safe" way to run long commands is to use a screen.

apt install screen
screen
# It will create a new empty prompt
yunohost app install ...

If connection breaks: screen -R to reconnect to the screen after logging in again in SSH.

Compiling sources can be very resource-consuming too. It is possible some services get killed by the system in the process, including the SSH connection.

How much RAM do you have? Could you consider stopping some of your largest apps while installing Librephotos? Or adding a swap file?

You were right, installation was too heavy for my hardware.
