Cannot re-enable developer mode

I had developer mode enabled because I use the terminal app and ssh connections. Since yesterday the terminal app would not start anymore: on the home screen the start-up cover appeared, but after some time disappeared again. In order to solve that problem I disabled developer mode and then tried to enable it again. This however does not work anymore. I go to System Settings >> System >> Developer Mode. No other applications are running on the home screen. Then I proceed to enable the developer mode:

  1. I select the Developer mode radio button
  2. I confirm with the security code
  3. I accept the developer terms
  4. "Enabling developer mode" appears, first with running white stripes on progress bar
  5. After ten seconds or so progress bar stabilizes and becomes 1/4 white.
  6. After a minute or two a notification pops up: "Problem with store: could not install jolla-developer-mode"
  7. Screen switches back to start screen for enabling developer mode. The events screen shows a warning: "Problem with installing. <time passed=""> jolla-developermode"

I have updated my Jolla store account in System Setting multiple times, also by removing it and recreating it. I have two accounts and tried them both. The store works fine with normal installations. I'm not very willing to do a reset and I don't even know whether it would do any good.
