Hey guys, everytime I enter Cydia I get this message:

"Error: Database

Encountered a section with no Package: header"

Any idea why this is popping up? All my sources and packages are empty and I don't know why. It might be something with hackolous.us but I'm not sure. Will I have to re-jailbreak my phone? Restore?

Had the same problem a couple days ago, to fix it SSH into var/lib/apt/lists and delete all the sources except for the partial folder. Then in Cydia go to packages, scroll down to Cydia Installer and reinstall.
