I don't know if this has happened to everyone but I need help with this when I try to add a source on cydia these errors pop up (these errors are in order as they appear)

Error: Refreshing data
The method driver
/usr/lib/apt/Http could not
be found.

This pop up repeats again after the first one.

Then when I try to download packages these error windows pop up
*note* the first pop up isn't the first one it's the second one *couldn't read the first one*

*second error*
Error: Running
Sub-process/usr/bin/pkg returned
an error code (1)

*third error*
/var/cache/apt/archives/firmware-
sbin_0-1_iphoneos-
arm.deb
Subprocess pre-installation script
returned error exit status 1
*this window remains for a while after you press "okay".

So if any knows what to do please help.
I'm trying to make themes thru Fugu and Openssh if that's any help.

I had the same error code (the Http one!) and had no luck with different methods that were suggested (changing the http to Http or HTTP etc), I ended up re-jailbreaking the iphone!! sorry, i know this isn't the answer you are looking for!

repos, like any website, have downtime, crash, and get overloaded. As many have said, with Spirit being released, there is a massive increase in cydia traffic and the repos are very very busy.
All you can do is wait it out.
