some terminal (i use the one form cydia).

if its one that normaly logs as mobile, you first need to type:
su

and when it asks for a pasword, alpine (root for username if it wants you to type it)

Just to be sure:

To uninstall Cydia, the command is: apt-get remove cydia

Right?
And that removes it completely?

**Cocchiararo** · 04-23-2008, 10:05 AM

it removes the the icon and the GUI app, you still keep all the rest, and apt-get commands remain usable

**Devante** · 04-23-2008, 03:53 PM

Is there a way to remove everything Cydia installed completely?

I notice instead of "uninstall" on Installer.app, there's only "Reinstall" as an option.

**Cocchiararo** · 04-23-2008, 06:36 PM

restoring :P

pd: why would you want to remove cydia stuff ?

**Cocchiararo** · 04-25-2008, 03:33 PM

after the last cydia/apt (i dont know which one caused it) i get "Cydia subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2" after every install.

i tried removing and intalling again cydia without results... any one else with similar problems ? (i wont remove apt cause i think that would bust everything :P )

**rperalta** · 04-25-2008, 11:23 PM

Any easy way to add sources in Cydia without using a PC?

Thanks in advanced.

I have the same problem and would love to find a fix.

it seems that apps install anyway, so its not a big problem (it seems, i cant be sure), and the new verison of cydia rocks BIG time, it gets updates without bothering you, and it can open more info pages INSIDE cydia finally

**spliket** · 04-30-2008, 09:01 PM

this started happening to me when i updated to the newest version of cydia. i didn't think anything of it (since stuff seemed to install anyway).

but....now i just tried to update moleskine and it totally jacked that up...moleskine crashes now...after i tried updating through cydia. kinda pisses me off.

any cydia developers out there?

I have the same problem, i tried installing Moleskine from command line and i get the same error but with little more info:

Unpacking com.databinge.moleskine (from .../com.databinge.moleskine 0.37b4 darwin-arm.deb)
.../preinst: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
...
dpkg: error processing var/cache/apt/archives/com.databinge.moleskine 0.37b4 darwin-arm.deb (--unpack):
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 2

this happens only with some of the packages like Moleskine or PuzzleManiak (other apps install without errors)...it seems like there's an error in the install script

I love this package. The fact that everything is organized and easier to use & look through just makes it all the better.

**Gandaleon** · 05-02-2008, 07:56 PM

I have a similar problem, except NOTHING installs or uninstalls properly with cydia now.

I`d like to have the old installer back since I don`t think that anyone seems to know how to fix these issues let alone care to fix them. So - does anybody have a clue how to remove cydia?

**Cocchiararo** · 05-03-2008, 01:28 PM

having cydia doesnt remove installer, why do you say that you want it back ?

pd: you need to restore to remove cydia :P

**Cocchiararo** · 05-06-2008, 09:16 AM

my cydia autocloses now... dunno if it was after installer update or for unknown reasons. and reinstalling it wont fix it

**Apple iPie** · 05-08-2008, 08:10 AM

App is nice,I think though...

**Cocchiararo** · 05-08-2008, 12:18 PM

it seems some of the packages i had installed with installer messed with cydia, after uninstalling john kit, repo name and a few more cydia came back to life

**werdna1091** · 05-09-2008, 01:43 PM

i love this, but i was just wondering, u have that one picture of ur main screen and there is a modmyi app. what is that and where did u get it

**dvd65** · 05-12-2008, 12:55 PM
