What are all the Graphics Service Capability Bit listings showing up in PkgBackup ?

If I look at my list of packages with expert on, they are all listed as separate entries.

How do I turn "Expert" mode on?

I'm in Developer mode. Why would "Expert" be better?? Anyway, I don't see them either. I only know you get the opportunity to change sometimes when Cydia asks you. I'll be interested to see how these guys just change it manually.

Here are 2 screenies, one in simple mode (they are hidden), one in expert mode.

For me, it's the little box top right to go from Simple to Expert

@scirica - this should satisfy the naysayers !

Hmmm, I don't have this box.

ok, in this way i see them!!!

at first i was in developer mode where there isn't an expert view, going into hacker mode i could switch to expert mode and see them!!!!

So, the fact I'm in Developer mode is the reason? I figured this was the best mode to be in??? So, how do I change modes manually?

See, I don't have UIKit Tools installed, so these packages don't show up on either mode. But my point is that these packages don't show up in the repository listings, and are not listed as dependencies of either the Cydia upgrade or UIKit Tools. If these are separate packages, they should be listed as dependencies before we install; if they are simply files installed as part of the UIKit Tools package, they should not be listed as installed packages.

Also? Why the hell is UIKit Tools a dependency of Cydia?

ETA: And can those of you who talk about changing user modes (hacker, developer, etc.) explain how you do it?

Figured out how to change user modes. You just go into Manage>Settings

Any news??

I emailed Saurik about this this morning. This is the response I just got back:

These are virtual packages used for dependency analysis to specific devices (this is similar to the firmware package), and are not even visible in Cydia.

I sent a reply to let him know that they show up in Cydia in Expert mode, in case that was unintentional and is related to the reason they show up in Pkgbackup. I'll keep people posted.
