I know this is way late for the above poster, but....

This just happened to me, and to any of you googlers that run across this page:

List 1:
  1. Open terminal on your touch or phone
  2. type "su root" (without quotes)
  3. type "alpine" (without quotes) or your password if you've changed it.
  4. type "apt-get remove cydia" (without quotes)

Here is where the road forks:
  • If you get a confirmation message that ends with "Yes, do as I say!", then confirm and type "apt-get install cydia" (without quotes) and you're done.
  • If you get a list of errors, and it returns to the prompt, then leave the terminal open and proceed to list 2.

List 2:
  1. SSH into your phone or touch
  2. Navigate to private/var/lib/apt/lists/
  3. Simply delete the entries with bad headers, repeats, etc. (Whatever you are warned of in terminal on your device).
  4. Start Cydia back up
  5. Profit

This worked like a charm. I was dreading have to restore my iPhone after having to do that a week ago. Thanks Mereyweather!
