Hi all,
Unfortunately I can't access any tweaks/repos in Cydia (iOS7) anymore.
I'm not sure why, but when I start it, I get this message:
attachment.php


I'm usually pretty careful about which tweaks I install, and I currently have the following, on my phone:
Moviebox
BiteSMS
StatusHUD2
CCTogles
Activator
Slide2Kill7
Cloacky
CleaverPin
SwipeSelection Pro
Spotium
Flex2

Can someone help me resolve this?

Thanks in advance :)

I've only got 6 repos installed (only 2 non-default) and it's been working perfectly fine for the last month. Could it be anything else?

No, this is a really common problem. It probably gets asked once every two week on average

If you have any piracy repos, those are probably the reason why

Cydia can only handle up to 65k packages. Once all the repos combined go over 65k, it'll throw you that error you see. New packages are constantly being added to the repos, default non default alike
 
Can't you just get the stuff you need from certain repos then delete them? That's what I did with a couple because I was concerned about that same error & space. That and never needed anything else aside from the one or two things I wanted.

I think the problem with this is, If an update for an app/tweak is released, you won't be notified that there is an update.
Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks.

This is correct. You need to the repo to see the update. Cydia is just a GUI for the repos. So if a repo isn't set up, Cydia will never know an update exists since it'll never refresh the packages on the repo.
