Anyone else have this issue?? I really don't want to restore but is that the only fix?

Upgrade to the beta .7

I don't know if this will work for you. I did not have precisely this problem. In my case all my sources were gone and I couldn't add any. I found a thread on here that gave the following instructions (word for word) and doing this worked for me.

I had not even had a chance to install openssh yet so I had to do this with iFunbox over a wire.

I did not save the poster's name, just the instructions, but he has my thanks.

SSH/ Iphonebrowser(google urself) to ur iphone..

navigate to /var/lib/cydia/

delete the metadata.plist...(this will remove all ur added source inside cydia and reset them to original one, so please kindly add back ur source after that)..

and delete this files too..

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cydia.list

finally, delete anything inside

/var/lib/dpkg/updates/ (dont delete the folder)

reboot ur iphone and open cydia.. u are done.. u got a fresh new cydia..

Dammit I wish I would have looked here first before I re-jailbroke my IPhone.

The samething was happening to me.

Yeah I ended up doing the same thing. Now I know what to do though in case it happens again.
