Due to a few reported issues with Orangehost (i did a tutorial but don't actually use them) i decided to delve back in
it appears that they have really screwed up the node app section. "install dependencies" now seems to list packages in the package.json within the app root (in may case nodejsapp) but sems to look for it in the nodevenv/nodejsapp/{node-js-main-version-number}/bin folder when installing them.
Copying the package.json to there results in the routine running but the below error message appears.
