same problem here since i start my cydia this morning,all content gone,no idea how it happens.

is it really my problem or the sever？？

[iMister]

This is the problem. When i try to open cydia, i keep getting a tonne of error messages (this has never happened before) Is this a problem with cydia or is it just me? These are the error messages:

"Error: Clean Archives" Problems with mergelist/var/lib/apt/lists/apple.news.fr_repo_._packages The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

"Error: database, encountered a section with no package: Header".

plus when i go to sections, there is just one option that says "All packages" and there is nothing in it when i open it...?

I have tried refreshing within changes but to no avail....

I still get the "downloading release" and "downloading packages" but then it just says Error: cahce failure

So my dilema is, do i delete cydia from my iphone and reinstall or what?

************************************************** ******************************

also got this message just now in a pop up box:

Error: Refreshing Data
GPG error
richcreations.com the following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2

Failed to fetch
http://apt.hackers.nl/dists/iphone/release.gpg Host Unreachable

then another few just like these but EasyWakeup - intelligenter Wecker für Ihr iPhone 403 forbidden
failed to fetch www.a-steroids.com/cydia

then at the very bottom it says: some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

does anyon know WTF is going on? i dont want to have to re JB my phone with all the recent problems going on (even though i only have the 3G model) i just dont want to be left without a JB (i would be lost without it now)

I am having this issue lately also...no problem encourtered at all before this afternoon...

after so whenever I opened Cydia it said encountered a section with on package: header

and all my installed packages and sources are gone from the list...all empty

Is this the problem of Cydia or is it my individual problem? How do I fix it tho?

I didn't add or remove any sources prior to this issue...

iMister, I finally got the problem solved!!

Just SSH into your iPhone, navigate to the following folder:

/private/var/lib/apt/lists

delete everything except the folder "partial" (You can move them to a folder in your PC/MAC just in case)

Restart Cydia and no more warning this time! Go to Changes and press Refresh and all the changes should be there again!

It at least works for me...do let me know if it works for you

I think we kinda got something corrupted and Cydia just doesn't know what to do.....

Excellent my friend!! You are a superstar... I did actually go into that very folder just yesterday, as one of the error reports said thats where one of the problems were. I was going to delete just the one that it said, but decided against it.... Great job fella

Dont forget to thank the man auwkeung!! LOL

I have 2g recently unlocked and jailbroken for 3.1 using Pwnage tool in Mac. I used iPhone Browser to delete these files as specified:

/private/var/lib/apt/lists

delete everything except the folder "partial" (You can move them to a folder in your PC/MAC just in case)

Restart Cydia and no more warning this time! Go to Changes and press Refresh.

I still get Error: Database Encountered a section with no Package: header once I launch Cydia.

Under Sections/All Packages I have nothing!

When I go to Changes and Refresh, it will show Reloading Data but then the messages Error: Database Encountered a section with no Package: header pops out again.

I still don't have anything under All Packages.

In Icy, I can see the packages but unable to install anything!

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
