I just JB my Air and Cydia is still trying to find the upgrades, it's loading but nothing's happening and I keep getting POSIX: Operation time out error. Also the it's still the old look.

Any ideas and suggestions? Do I have to re-jailbreak?

cheers
 
re run the jailbreak, if it does not work if possible do a clean install of your OS and then jailbreak, it eliminates all problem
 
I think it is just cydia traffic issue. No need to re-jailbreak or anything. Try again later in some time.
 
Did you do as Cydia instructs ? Open Cydia and let it organize itself, then it closes automatically, then when you re-open it, it will ask if you want to do essential upgrades - answer yes - complete essential upgrades.
 
I have the same issue and I've done all of the above. It must be a timeout due to traffic.
 
"POSIX error: Operation Timed Out": Make sure your device has access to the internet and try again. If this error keeps happening, it is likely caused by a repository server being temporarily offline. Try again later. You can also choose to remove the repository (see the method above).

"GPG error": This means that a repository is configured incorrectly. You can usually safely ignore this.

For me, deleting the Ultrasnow repo did it.

I don't see any updates since yesterday at 2pm, however, but I no longer get the same error message.

same on both comments for me

i just did a restore and am about to reJB just to get everything back to base and then add packages as i know they are ready. but that is just for my piece of mind i suppose as this seems to happen every new JB and then after traffic or updates or whatever it irons itself out.
 
Thanks everyone. Deleting Ultrasnow helped. now it works fine..

thanks
