In case this is still relevant to you, and since I had the same problem: It seems like some of the posts I tried to import contained data that tripped up Sqlite. So I switched my database to MySQL, using this tutorial: https://www.allaboutghost.com/migrating-ghost-installation-from-sqlite3-to-mysql/

Import still returned an error message after a while, but it turns out that all the posts were imported correctly this time.

Hope that helps!
