Welcome to MMi

I think your going to have to my friend. Restore is the easy fix.

Cydia was crashing for most everyone a few days ago depending on when you last installed something. Do a search or check the Cydia forum. I would try the SSH and deleting file method before I restore. If you click my name find all posts by me. You'll see a thread where it talks about this.

http://www.modmyi.com/forums/file-mo...rough-ssh.html

and still having same issue..

it only had 2 custom ones...

1) SSH and go to /private/var/lib/apt/lists ( you will find various files and folders )

2) Remove all, BUT MAKE SURE YOU DONT DELETE THE FOLDER CALLED ”partial”

3) Load Cydia
