How do I manually remove this package from Cydia? Image

I snagged this from another forum, it should help you out. (Thanks SellerJ02 on that site, which I don't think I can mention here.)

<<begin snag>>

First use ifile to locate the pakcgae name,
Navigte to:
\var\lib\dpkg and open the file "available" with text viewer
this shows a list of packages that are installed or sometimes were installed.
To find the selected package, tap the magnifying glass in the bottom left croner and search the name of the selested package.
once you find the line that has your package in it, scroll up the paragrapgh a bit to the line that says
"Package: XXXXX" XXXXX represents what you need to copy
copy the package name after the Package:

now open mobile terminal type
su then type your password (default is alpine)
then type dpkg -r
after that add one space and type the name of the package, this will tell terminal to remove the package wait until that is done then respring/reboot to emove the package properly.
press thanks if this helped
type

Sorry, but where do I get Mobile terminal for ios 8?

I use Mterminal v 1.1-1 from BigBoss Repo, I am on 8.1.2.

Humm, big problem I have now: I cant get Mterminal from Cydia if I dont get rid of this problematic package that is not letting me get anything from cydia. So I dont see a solution to this, I am on a vicious cycle. Is there another way to get Mterminal without using cydia?

Ok, somehow I was able to install Mterminal, but now, following the above tutorial, I cant access the file Available on ifile using a Text editor/viewer. When I tap on Available it gives me options to share the file but not to edit it or view it...

Why don't you then share the file, to your email, then open it with a text editor......If you are on a mac, then you can open it with TextEdit, or WordPad on a PC.

Let me try it
