When Cydia has managed to get a corrupted Packages file (such as one with a Package:-less block) it is entirely unable to correct the situation without manual intervention. It really needs to allow the user to /at least/ run an update, in the hope the source updated the entry (and possibly also let the user do something even more awesome, like clean the list database or remove sources).

[toNYc311]

I'm actually having the same problem. It started today and I don't know why Cydia is crashing. I tap the Cydia icon, it opens. I see the Loading Data screen and spinning cog for all of about 1 second and then Cydia crashes to the home screen.

I haven't done anything different or changed Cydia in anyway. All I did was install Twinkle from the App Store yesterday. That's it. Doesn't make sense for Cydia to just stop working. I hope there's a fix, thanks in advance.

This is very weird... this is /after/ you did that update?... Out of random curiosity, have you tried rebooting? If you have SSH access, would you mind installing syslogd (apt-get install syslogd), rebooting, running Cydia (so it crashes), and then sending me /var/log/syslog?

[toNYc311]

I actually did not update Cydia. It simply just stopped working. I have rebooted the iPhone a number of times and it simply continues to crash.It was literally sudden. How do i download the syslog? I can still use mobileterminal. I will get it that way then launch Cydia and then send the syslog here. Thanks for your help.

[saurik]

From the console you can install OpenSSH by doing "apt-get install openssh" and then use some SCP client (such as WinSCP) to get the file. Out of curiosity, did any of you install Rock Your Phone? Also, are you using IntelliScreen??

[toNYc311]

No I didn't install Rock and I don't use IntelliScreen?. I already have OpenSSH on my phone but I've never used it. I do everything by mobileterminal cause it's easier for me. I go into the filesystem with modidied app store mobile finder and the finder you released in Cydia and I use Disk Aid to access the filesystem on the PC. Can you explain to me how to get syslog on the phone? Or is in Installer? Ironically Installer still works.

syslogd failure

[patrat95]

i cant install syslogd! i do have ssh. i dont have intelliscreen. i have an ipod touch, so i cant will not get rock your phone.

[patrat95]

this is after the update too. i tried rebooting.

[saurik]

Awesome. Can you do this, and then try rerunning Cydia?

apt-get remove cy.sosiphone.com

[saurik]

Tony: The syslog is in /var/log/syslog, and you install support for it with: apt-get install syslogd

[toNYc311]

syslogd error (mobileterminal)

[toNYc311]

cy.sosiphone.com error (mobileterminal)

[toNYc311]

This is becoming very discouraging. I have attached 2 images of my 2 attempts using mobileterminal. Both seem to have not worked. Any other suggestions?

[saurik]

Oh, yeah, that makes sense: you can't apt-get remove that package if apt-get isn't working. Luckily, it seems like you both have the same problem, though.

The fix is to do one of the following:

a) delete: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sosiphone.com.list b) delete: /var/lib/apt/lists/cy.sosiphone.com_._Packages c) run: apt-get update -o Acquire::http::MaxParallel?=4

What happened is that SoSiPhone? (one of the smaller, non-default, third party sources) apparently put a broken Packages file onto their source, and anyone who downloaded it ended up with a wedged copy of APT that requires an update to fix. I really should have Cydia attempt updates if the catalog is entirely broken. :(

[toNYc311]

Thank you Sauric. That seems to have fixed Cydia. I am noticing an HTTP Error from the HackThatiPhone? source. It seems it might not be active anymore. I always saw the error in Cydia's refresh but never knew why it was there. In mobileterminal it says that the 404 Error is coming from HackthatiPhone?. I guess I'll remove the source.

I'll let you know if I'm having any other problems. You're the best! :D

[saurik]

The underlying problem is still here: Cydia should not crash when this happens. The updated summary and description have been adjusted to discuss the underlying problem.

[toNYc311]

I'm just happy Cydia is working again. Thanks. ;)

[patrat95]

It works. thanks Saurik.

[theplague]

I have the same problem(started yesterday) as in the first post and can't really follow you how to solve it. How do I know which source it is causing this?

[patrat95]

Can you SSH into it? If you can, log in and open up terminal. Then you can use "apt-get install syslogd". If you get an error, look at the second line that begins with "E:". The source that is causing the problem is in that line. You can then use WinSCP to find that source in "var/lib/apt/lists/". Delete the file "source"_._packages, where "source" is the source that is bad. Then go to "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/" and find the file "source".list, where source is the bad source. You can just reboot your ipod and should be able to use Cydia again.

[theplague]

It worked! Thanks alot!

[theplague]

I must ask: since I "apt-get install syslogd", did I actually install something I'd might as well uninstall? Something that affects memory and free space?

[patrat95]

If you got the error that told you the corrupt package, then it did not install anything. I you want to make sure, run: apt-get remove syslogd .

[autobuck]

Worth noting: Cydia crashes in the same fashion when out of disk space, because it's an apt-get crash in both cases. To the end user it appears exactly the same, complicating diagnosis. (Amarok will happily fill your disk without warning you if you ask it to, made easier by the bad reporting of free space... this is what happened to me.) Cydia should probably trap the apt-get output and mirror it to the user in a meaningful way, if not offer to fix the problem--there *is* that "manage storage" area that only displays information at the moment.

Replying to patrat95:

Ok, once again I have the Cydia crashing issue and wonder if you can help: This is what I get when I run "apt-get install syslogd":

iPhone-30-16gb:~ root# apt-get install syslogd E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. iPhone-30-16gb:~ root# dpkg --configure -a dpkg: parse error, in file /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000' near line 14 package com.ashman.reflectivedock':

EOF before value of field `Sponsor' (missing final newline)

iPhone-30-16gb:~ root#

How can I proceed?

[theplague]

Ok, I seemed to solve it by deleting all files at private/var/lib/dpkg/updates. Is that the correct way?
