a lot of times errors pop up in cydia for no reason. what exaclty does the error say? does it prevent u from doing anything in cydia?

1st itloads the data which takes about 1 min then does all the downloading at the top bit i get the home page and everythin i think its cause i watched a youtube video to show me how to download sources ok for the msg here goes
error:refreshing data

http;//csrepo.co.cc/./packages.bz2
sub-process/bin/bzip2 returned an error code (2)

failed to fetch http://apple-news.fr/repo/./packages.gz

So it's a custom input source that fails to load.. everything else works just fine and all the community sources load ok?

[imastar]

well i think so i only get tha msg, after tried to install sources, im not to clever when it comes to things like this

Thanks

One of 2 things happened.. either the source you added does not exist anymore... or is not supported on 4.0.... or you typed it in wrong.

[imastar]

well i copied it through youtube so not sure if it doesn exsit but im sure i put it correct do u know how to fix the problem?

Thanks

like he said, it might not exsist anymore. good repos are expensive, and the free ones generated by a website can only have so much traffic. if it is online, then its not supported on 4.0 either way the repo wont fix.

Hi this csrepo.co.cc error, i think i have fixed it on my iphone. i deleted all areas where it was stored.

/private/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cydia.list (if not look through the items in souce.list.d
/private/var/lib/apt/lists/ (there should be one or two files with the name of the source in here, delete the files)
/private/var/lib/cydia/metadata.plist

if you also get the apple-news error also remove all meta data which has apple-news in it just do a find search for that text. I would suggest making a copy of the meta data before you play with it. then that error will be gone.

i did these 3 things 1st but still had the error and found i had to delete one more thing which was in the source.listd folder and its began with cs. something other another (i think it was cs.1slt, some of code but defo started with cs. To double check its the csrepo crap again just double click on it and it will open and have the cs.repo source link in there. Once you know its the cs repo again then just close and delete. Once i did that i found it was the final bit of cs repo data and after i went cydia and error was gone.

I hope the above helps. it worked for me anyway.

good luck if still a problem

Do u get the error when u want to use the apple-news.fr repo cos I'm lookin for themes from this source please

[Faizel]

yes me too

[iGood]

That happens to me too! Do you know how to get rid of the sources that don't work so that this error message will stop popping up on cydia. It is absolutely annoying! :@
