Cydia hangs when adding source

[tomth]

I have a problem with cydia: when i ad à source, it is going to download sources etc. On the end it hangs by downloading packages. I have reinstalled cydia, and a rejailbreak done. What can i do??

i am having the exact same problem, i added sources fine at the beginning of yesterday however last night and today, not so much...
although once, i let it "download packages" and after a good while, i resprung (is that the right way to say it in the past tense) and the source was there! it only worked once though...

I will try your way. Maybe there are more people who have this problem?

I am having this problem today, i cant add any sources at all but last night i managed to add the hackulo source. Does anyone know what the problem might be??

Just tried adding sources on my mates iphone and they add fine no problems! this is strange

[joebanjo]

be careful about talking about cracked things...

also it only worked once for me...

At First i thought this was a new problem but after searching, it looks like it has happened before.

I just upgraded to iOS4 on my 3gs and now I can't add any sources into Cydia.. it just hangs on "Downloading Packages"

I tried deleting the sources from cydia.list in /etc/apt/sources but it didn't work. I then decided to be a smarta$$ and delete the whole cydia.list now I lost all the repos I added and I can't add them back!!

Help anyone?

First of all. Do you still have the GPG keys of the repositories? Check over the console with
apt-key list
My iPhone gives the following output:

/usr/bin/apt-key: line 161: run-parts: command not found
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg

If you have the keys you can add the repositories manually into the cydia.list in /private/etc/apt/sources.list.d.
