Above you showed that you added the lines for source repository
of "chimaera-backports"… Why not "testing" if that is where you want
to build from?

You already said that there is no backport version of nano.

I guess that you don't have entries for release testing in your
sources.list…
If you want to compile a testing version of nano then you need the
source repository for the testing release, not the "chimaera-backports"
one, I think.
