Hy,

I just added a new source, that I got from a forum to cydia:

mapleidea.com

to begin: DO NOT ADD THIS SOURCE!!!

now. everytime i add another source, it tells me, that this "cake.mapleidea.com/cydia" is a bad url.

but it doesn't appear anywhere.
how can i delete a source "that isn't there"?
and how can i now manage to get rid of it?

Thanks for your help,
Gio

as i added some other sources, i got for most of them the following different error message:

"sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)"

he sources were:
and scrambled egg paper clip at paperclipsandscrambledeggs.com
richcreations.com
Webs - Free website, free hosting, free webpage - Make a web site with photo albums, blogs, videos, forums and more!
http://www.iacces.com/apt/

WARNING AGAIN. Please do not add this sources!

And again: If you could help me to get rid of them, you would helo me a lot.

Thanks

Use mobileterminal and input:

apt-get remove http://cake.mapleidea.com/cydia/

sorry if it doesn't work - just my educated guess

[giovanotti]

what is my mobileterminal?
and where do i find it/ how can i use it?

You have to have it installed via cydia.

I figured it ou If you have not already go an answer.

In /private/var/lib/cydia delete out your bad url in the metadata.plist file

also in:
/private/var/lib/apt/list
and
/private/var/lib/apt/list/partial

delete out any files with the bad url in the name

no more bad source.

Thank you very much for the useful input! Sounds like the best solution!

Through iphonebrowser i tried to access the metadata.plist file but i wasn't able to open it and delete the bad sources...

how can i do that?

I had to SSH into the phone with cyberduck.
Copied the file to my computer.
Searched the metadata.plist in textedit and deleted the bad URL and then saved the file and copied it back to the phone.

I have never used iphone browser. I have always just SSH'ed to the phone.

You could use ifile to find the file, you can even open up the file in ifile. I don't know how it would go with no search function in ifile. It will be a tedious process searching for the url in that plist.
