HOW DO I UPDATE CYDIA????
ok i understand that there is an issue with cydia, i think i experienced it today, when i first open it up this first message pops up :
*ERROR DATABASE: could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)

and then i hit ok and then second message:
*ERROR:REFRESHING DATA: could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/list/lock - open(13 Permission denied)
then third:
*ERROR DATABASE: could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
after that i cant even open cydia, just goes back to springboard.
i tried doing this....

Fix:
This is a simple fix really.

* Connect to your iphone/ipod via either ssh, mobile terminal, ifile, diskaid or some other type of usb file system browser. Browse to /var/lib/apt/lists/
* Delete cydia.zodttd-1.com_repo_cydia_dists_stable_main_binary-iphoneos-arm_Packages.
* Install the new update to cydia to fix this.

--------------But when it comes to the update cydia part im lost.

And try this if the two FIX wont work for youm here is the 3Rd one.

Navigate to the /var/lib/apt/lists/ folder. Delete the 3 x zodttd files
Navigate to /private/etc/apt/sources.list.d Delete the zodttd file

Then launch cydia.

Then install it again. here is the file you needed and how to install

install on Cydia Zodttd's source 0.4

Navigate to /private/etc/apt/sources.list.d & paste the file that you Downloaded.

i did exacally that and its still giving me the same massages, but i think its not a Zodttd issue. the massage is talking about the LOCK file. Anyone?

Anyone?

I would give you my lock file but its 0kb so it's impossible to upload. If all else fails reinstall Cydia.

This is to update Cydia
Go to Mobile Terminal
Type: su
Type: yourpassword (alpine if you have not set one)
Type: apt-get update
All Cydia sources should be updated.

This to reinstall Cydia
Go to Mobile Terminal
Type: su
Type: yourpassword (alpine if you have not set one)
Type: apt-get remove cydia
Type: apt-get install cydia
Reboot

when i type that: i get this,
sh: apt-get: command not found

---------- EDIT ----------

when i type that this is what it says...

just put the 0kb file into a folder on your desktop with a picture or .txt file then .zip or .rar the folder and upload it. (this is just so u can upload the 0kb file... the picture or .txt file can just be discarded.

install "‘Apt 0.7 Strict’." if you haven't already, you may or may not have to switch to 'hacker' to do so.

then you can start using apt-get

I don't understand how to use it with ssh but its also used for terminal

unlock as stated i.s type S U then password "alpine"

then type the command as you would

btw i'm just guessing all of this :P

So I was receiving a message on cydia while trying to download a source. It told me "Apt-get update so I went to Sinfuliphone.com and looked up what that was. I found a thread that told me to go to terminal and type apt-get remove cydia and apt-get install cydia. Now I can't open cydia. Please help. Thanks! Btw I'm sort of a noob so please be specific.
