Cydia has been showing updates sporadically for the last week or so. As of now, the last time changes are shown is January 10th. I had this problem once before, and it ended up being the modified hosts ad-blocking file is installed. This time I don't have that file, and the phone has been restored since then. Anyone have any ideas?
OK,lets try something.Cydia keeps the list of changes in the file
/private/var/lib/cydia/metadata.plist.You edit that file with replacing the date 'today' with 'that day'(last update day)...Look if cydia will start up normal&changes will be up to date...
