hey I opened cydia and not of my packages, sources, and sections are showing up, I have ip4 4.2.1 with tethered jb

just delete all the files in:
/var/lib/dpkg/update
to do that, use
1. iFile on the iDevice (to have it for free, add the xsellize repo)
2.WinSCP (SSH)
3.iFun-Box (USB tunneling)

Hope it helps!
