I answered only to help-nano (hope it's fine)
I chose 2.9.8 because it's the latest version that doesn't need new debian 10 packages (i'm on debian 9) to avoid conflicts
> which nano
/usr/local/bin/nano
Another problem I have is when I type "dpkg -r nano" it says this
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove nano, only the config
files of which are on the system; use --purge to remove them too
> strace nano README 2>TRAIL; grep -n access TRAIL | grep -n nanorc | less
7:62:access("/usr/local/etc/nanorc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
8:64:access("/home/my_server/.nanorc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
9:65:access("/home/my_server/.config/nano/nanorc", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Ok seems like it doesn't look in the right directory

and run 'make uninstall', to get rid of the nano in /usr/local/bin/.
I just tried to "make uninstall" (with and without sudo), it did something but nano is still installed on 2.9.8 after that

I meant: 'type -a nano'.
