Can't enable developer mode

This post may be a message in a bottle thrown into the sea but hey I'll try anyway.

I just got a used N9 with PR1.3 (40.2012.21-3.480.04.1_PR_480) that has been reset. I wanted to tinker a bit with it so with the help of https://wiki.maemo.org/Resurrect_your_N9 I tried to enable Developer mode but I get a "Unable to trace installation package dependencies" error.

I set up a working wifi connection.
I checked "Allow installations from non-Store sources".
I installed N9 RepoMirror. Tried with both v0.6.0 and 0.7.2. They both installed successfully (see end of post).
Thinking it had to do with some expired root certificates, I set the phone date to several dates between 2011 and 2015.
I rebooted several times.
I also installed Aegis-install hack v1.0.10.

But no luck. Then I installed Karin-Console and simulated an install:

Code:

apt-get -s install developer-mode

I got this:

Code:

NOTE: This is only a simulation!

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies.

  developer-mode: Depends: aegis-developer-unknown-source-policy but is not installable

                  Depends: aegis-dev-mode but is not installable

I then tried to install manually the two missing dependencies (I found the .deb files on openrepos.net). I could install aegis-dev-mode 0.3 but not aegis-developer-unknown-source-policy 1.26: I get an "Invalid installation package" error (I am not a superuser so not surprising I guess).

Am I missing something? Or is it definitely over for my N9?
I can't reflash the phone because all the links to the flashing softwares and files are dead.
