Problem with cydia.list

[Gavernty]

Every time I attempt to add a source line 1 in my list file becomes unreadable. It keeps adding a ./ in front of my first source... why is it doing this?

It's not recommended to manually add sources here, you can edit and erased problematic sources but adding is not "recommended", Add sources using Cydia.

Also make sure that the source you are adding is a standard structure source, some sources (Like the default sources) need some additional parameters

this all started after deleting a bad source from cydia.list

ever since then if i try to add a new source I have to manually ssh into cydia.list and delete it because adding a new source through cydia causes malformed errors

I know exactly what you are talking about, that is a bug I haven't be able to figure out, I reported it but haven't got any reply back. i've done lot of searched and try many things myself and could not get to solve that issue, the bad source come back by itself after any new source is added or remove.

The only way i got rid of it was re-installing cydia by re-jailbreaking.

Try using Cyfix to remove the problem source and then re-add it.

I'm about to try this cause I'm having the same problem after removing this bad source that keeps showing back up after I open cydia a few times.

EDIT: Whats the repo?

Apparently 1.6.1 is the latest and xS only has 1.4

Apparently 1.6.1 is the latest and xS only has 1.4

Cyfix 1.4 works for me, when I’ve used it on my iPhone 4 on 4.0.1.

Just go here, if you want the 1.6 version:

How would you install that? It's not a deb file (even after added it).

How would you install that? It's not a deb file (even after added it).

You put it in usr/bin

Oh and change the permissions to 775.

It’s a script file, BTW.

Alright, and then just respring?

I've tried running the commands and I keep getting:

Installing necessary tools... 
Unable to automatically install tools,
please install APT 0.7 Strict from Cydia.

I tried installing APT 0.7 and respring but this still comes up.

I tried installing APT 0.7 and respring but this still comes up.

Requirements:
- erica utilities (for script execution)
- wget (for script updating)
- terminal
- root login
- script placed in /usr/bin
- script permissions set to 755

There are two Apt 0.7 Strict’s. Install both.

 

[Krafty]

The only thing from that list I see in Cydia is the APT 0.7 that I installed, I don't see another.

I tried googling WGET and installing that and got this error:

Selecting previously deselected package wget.
(Reading database ... 4303 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking wget (from .../wget_1.11-3_iphoneos-arm.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of wget:

You need to go to Cydia>Manage>Settings and change to Developer(no filters). That's why you're not getting all the packages.

Did that, checked the install packages and I already have everything on that list :-|
