Hi, i have looked every where for the new Repo sources location as i like to edit the file Manually of easy repo adding and restoring.

now as do not wish to re-type my 30 sources any one the real location?

as when i edit the repo's in either of these locations they do not get applied:
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.saurik.Cydia.plist
/var/mobile/Library/Cashes/com.saurik.Cydia/sources.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cydia.list

the old original location was:
/var/lib/cydia/metadata.plist

but now i cannot pinpoint the actual location..
 
I think I am having this problem. Did you resolve this?
 
no didn't resolve it. even with latest ver of cydia... and when i tried messing with those files when i went to each of my manly added repo's they where blank i had to remove all my repo's and reinstall cydia..

ever since cydia started running under mobile is has made a huge mess of backing up repo's and restoring them..

sure u can back them up from the /var/mobile/Library/Cashes/com.saurik.Cydia/sources.list

but you cannot restore i have edited all of these i even removed all of the 3 locations of the sources and this still didn't change anything all the repo's came back. there must be another hidden place where the repo's get stored but i haven't found it nor has the developer replied to my tweet.
 
there is always breaking down a pkgbackup back up. just back up repo files extract the pkgbackup local backup and try to find out the actual location of the repo's

It's 1.1.19 that's the problem. I went back to 18 and it resolved mine. Except several repos were gone. I had to reenter.
