You can try the solution I posted in this thread but you may not be having the same issue so it may not work

(I posted the wrong link, fixed now)

edit: now that I see it happened after trying to do 3 updates at once, I think it actually is the same problem I had.
 
no joy still crashes.. is there anyway to clear something via ssh like a log or something? or shall i go into safe mode and try etc?
 
found this in my log...

What happens if you open mobile terminal or ssh and type the command "dpkg -l" (without the quotes)?
 
I had cydia crash on installation of a ringtone and I had to restore. Sane deal as you, cydia would crash on startup. Restore is the option I know.
 
I'm in the same boat as the OP, and decided to restore back to normal settings. Yeah, Cydia wouldn't stay open that long and *POOF* it wouldn't give any type of warning just go back to my homescreen without an explanation prompt. After about 20 times, I decided to wait for something a bit more stable....:mad::mad::mad:
 
FIXED !!

found solution in another thread here - https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/731114/

apt-get is no longer installed by default. You have to install something, but I forget what it's called. Maybe "aptitude"?

I started having the same problem with Cydia today when it crashed during a 3 package upgrade. Cydia would open for a couple of seconds and crash.

I figured it was related to the failed upgrades so I tried to use mobile terminal and dpkg to uninstall the things I had been trying to upgrade. That gave me an error which pointed to corrupt files in /var/lib/dpkg/updates/. I deleted all the numbered files (0000, 0001, 0002 etc) and now everything works again.

Foob your a legend you just cured my cydia problems :)
 
I just got lucky and figured it out when I had the same problem. I was wondering if you had seen my link yesterday since we posted at nearly the same time. Glad it helped.

yup all good, i had 6 updates once i got cydia to load once again, then done them one by one! and having to restart springboard after each one lol not fun.

nice one, if you were local i'd get u a beer lol
 
Fixed Fixed!!!

Looked everywhere for the answer to the cydia crash bug, and sorted it myself

it appears to be half installed packaged causing the problem

so ssh into the phone

dpkg -C should tell you what's not installed fully, and in my case it was


Code: 
The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure
menu option in dselect for them to work:
 mobilesubstrate      powerful code insertion platform
 preferenceloader     load preferences in style
 libhide              Library to hide icons. If you are a developer wanting to
 pincrush             optimize PNGs just like Apple does

so a simple dpkg --configure [package name] fixes it, in my case.

Code: 
dpkg --configure mobilesubstrate  
    
dpkg --configure preferenceloader     

dpkg --configure libhide              

and

dpkg --configure pincrush

simples
