In the past week , we’ve got a lot of emails from you telling us about various Cydia issues. Since we didn’t experience the same issues, it was pretty hard for us to figure it out. But after a few emails sent back and forth and a week later, we got the fix for you guys.
Fix Cydia crashing
- First thing you need to do is to download Cydia.deb and copy it via SSH into /var/mobile
- Load MobileTerminal and type:
- su root
- alpine ( or your password, if you changed it )
- dpkg -i Cydia.deb
- Respring your iPhone
Fix empty listings ( packages and sources )
- SSH into your iPhone and browse to the following path: /private/var/lib/apt/
- Delete everything you will find there, except the “partial” folder

im not sure if this is the same thing but on launch my cydia pops up a message that says “Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/apt.modmyi.com_dists_stable_main_binary-iphoneos-arm_Packages” and “Encountered a section with no Package: Header” and when cydia finally reloads there are no packages or anything, i would greatly appreciate the help and i have tried most things that i could think of. Thanks in advance
