I disabled developer mode before lending my phone to someone. After I got it back, I couldn't re-enable dev mode because fingerterm package cannot be found in the store.

Is this a temporary store issue, or should I download it otherwise?

We have now had couple of reports about developer mode enabling not working, but haven't found any issues on the server side and haven't been able to reproduce this.

Do you happen to have any openrepos repositories enabled on the device, or other modifications like that?

And related to this, you can find instructions on how to get the logs with recovery mode from this answer, if you are willing to help investigate the problem.

OK. Will try to do so when I have time, as it appears to be a lot of work. In the mean time, the phone seems to work absolutely normally (except terminal missing of course)

And yes, I have a lot of harbour repos (and patches) enabled. Should I first try to disable them?

Have the same issue here. From reading similar threads it seems it is necessary to factory-reset the phone. As long as I don't need developer mode, that's a no-go for me... But I will give the "rebuild app registry" tool one more try.

Oops, sorry (my comment is no longer editable): I meant many openrepos (not harbour) repositories enabled.

Just disabled all repositories, issue not fixed.

EDIT: 'journal.txt' just sent to zendesk.

Thanks, the journal says that it fails to install openssh. Do you by any chance have the openssh version from openrepos installed?

I installed the openssh from openrepos on my device, then disabled developer mode and tried to re-enable it, which failed. And seems that openssh from openrepos causes a conflict in the dependencies.

UPDATE: Do not just uninstall the openssh from Warehouse, it will also remove other system packages

Workaround: if installed, remove Openrepos' openssh then re-enable dev mode. This should fix a dependency issue and allow re-installing fingerterm and re-enabling dev mode.

When fingerterm is back, restore missing components with pkcon install jolla-settings-sailfishos and reinstall MediaPlayer (plus possibly other removed apps) from Harbour and/or Openrepos.

Disable NielDK's repository to prevent original openssh from being replaced/updated.

(Thx to @Keto)

Glad you sorted it out! Had about the same problem once, only that re-enabling dev mode solved it at once. I should have found this post just a bit earlier to share my experiences.

Thanks, will try this next time I have the problem - good to know :)

Re-tagged the topic to make sure next users will find the workaround easily.

  1. Also Notes (Harbour) was removed along with Openrepos' openssh and needed to be reinstalled.
  2. The back-up utility was broken. pkcon refresh (with NielDK repository disabled of course) after version --dup restored it.
