Interesting bhz1. I've noticed if I install App Store apps before Cydia apps especially using AptBackup the final respring might lock up the phone. Probably due to the quantity Cydia installs at one time.
Therefore, the last time I restored, before running AptBackup I modified the install list file (aptbackup_dpkg-packages.txt) and removed those packages that were already installed from the jailbreak. Why install something that's already installed and updated? AptBackup completed in about 1 minute and everything completed smoothly.
Then ..... on to App Store applications
Update: It's very easy to perform the comparison from a fresh jb'd and updated Cydia.
1. dpkg -l > currentlist.txt
2. diff currentlist.txt aptbackup_dpkg_packages.txt (returns the difference)
3. currentlist.txt will contain the files not installed.
4. a simple edit to currentlist.txt easily becomes the new aptbackup_dpkg-packages.txt
Note: This is not a detailed step-by-step guide. Knowledge of dpkg, diff, aptbackup, aptbackup file locations, SSH, copy/replace file, etc are required.
