Tired of Cydia giving you repo errors on loads? Heres how to fix....

I was so tired of Cydia and its repo loading errors.

Heres how I fixed.

Its a 4 part process, but well worth it. Taken from various places around the web. As always, YMMV.

You can do these procedures either via SSH on a machine or right on the iPhone (iFile for one). However, Step 4 requires SSH on a machine.

Step 1:
Navigate to /private/etc/apt/sources.list.d and delete all files that contain the offending repo in the filename.
Open cydia.list for editing.
You will see lines that look like deb http://somerepo.url/ ./ Remove the line that has the offending repo url.
Save the file.

Step 2:

Navigate to /private/var/lib/apt/list and delete all files that contain the offending repo in the filename.

 

Step 3:

Navigate to /private/var/lib/apt/list/partial and delete all files that contain the offending repo in the filename.

 

Step 4:

Navigate to /private/var/lib/cydia and open the metadata.plist for editing. SAVE TO DESKTOP USE TEXTWRANGLER to edit. Save and upload back

Ctrl+F (or similar) for your offending repo url and delete all instances of it (it may appear more than once in the file).

Save the file.

Sit back and enjoy life with no more Cydia repo loading errors...
