I'm having the same problem with my iPad. How can I go to "private/var/lip/apt/lists" when I can't even install SSH? I have no packages/sources listed. Nothing at all ;(

[Simon]

Use a usb file explorer program like diskaid or ifunbox.

[ProZack27]

Didn't appear to work for me. Should I reboot after I delete those files? I closed Cydia, deleted those files, re-launched Cydia. Same deal. Ideas?

[Simon]

Something else may be causing the issue then. And yes you should reboot after.

this didn't fix it for me....

in my case it happen after updating:

- Music Controls Pro

- PkgBackup

- ilocalis.com

- App Quit activator

--------------

I was able to fix it using Limera1n to re-jailbreak and all my sources / packages / changes appeared again and I didn't loose anything ....

This happened to me to, but in addition to all of the above, Safari didn't work, and every time I re-booted, it would take 5 minutes, and always boot into safe-mode.

I removed all of the files in that folder using iFile and Safari's now working. Now I can see all changes, but the list of sources is still blank, and Cydia crashes when entering list of installed packages. And I still boot into safe-mode.

Have I missed anything?
- In advance, thanks.

EDIT:

I removed some sources I had recently added using Cyfix. Cydia now works great (except I can't add any new sources) but I'm still troubling during re-boot, as it takes much longer time than usual, and immediately goes into safe-mode. I've tried removing some packages from Cydia that I added before all this stuff happened, but nothing works.
