Cydia temporarily can't refresh data because another program is already using a system component that Cydia needs. This error commonly happens if you're also using another program that refreshes package data, such as Curiosa. To fix it, try rebooting. If that doesn't help, you may need to uninstall Curiosa (and any other packages that do this).

(Why does Cydia have this limit? [http://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/18iw7n/ama_request_evad3rs/c8ffcfx See saurik's explanation here.] Also note that the default sources have approximately 41 thousand packages available, which means that you have room for approximately 24 thousand extra packages from non-default sources. And keep in mind that refreshing and reloading data can get very slow if you have many sources installed; it's much quicker if you only keep the default sources.)

Cydia.app includes many error messages that might not be easy to understand at first, including error messages that come directly from Debian APT.

Here are explanations for them and how to fix the problems!

Cydia temporarily can't refresh data because another program is already using a system component that Cydia needs. This error commonly happens if you're also using another program that refreshes package data, such as Curiosa. To fix it, try rebooting. If that doesn't help, you may need to uninstall Curiosa (and any other packages that do this).

Cydia ran into some kind of network problem. The usual cause of this error message is using packages that add tons of ad-blocking lines to your hosts file; uninstalling those packages should fix this error.

dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg configure -a' to correct the problem

Cydia tries to fix this problem automatically. If this is the only error message displayed, you can ignore it and use Cydia normally.

You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

One or more of your installed sources is set up incorrectly. You should be able to remove the problematic source by going to Sources and tapping "Edit" at top right. If you are not sure which one to remove, try removing all of them except the defaults (BigBoss, Cydia/Telesphoreo, Dev Team, ModMyi, and ZodTTD/MacCiti).

Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

There is not enough disk space (on the system or user partitions or both) for Cydia to install this package. Try removing some files first, such as large bootlogo or theme files; you may need to use iFile, OpenSSH, or some other way to access the filesystem. You can also check iFile's trash folder (/var/mobile/Library/iFile/Trash). You can go to the Cydia homepage and tap "Storage Information" to check available space on both the system and user partitions.

Failed to fetch "name of a repo"

The repository is down

GPG error: [repository] stable Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG [number]

GPG error: [repository] stable Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG [number]

This is a minor problem with a source. You did nothing wrong and can continue to use Cydia normally.

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

One or more of your installed sources is temporarily or permanently unavailable. You may have typed in the wrong URL, the source may have shut down, the source may be broken, or the source may be denying your connection for some other reason. Try again later. If this problem keeps happening over many days, you can remove the problematic source by going to Sources and tapping "Edit" at top right.

Hash Sum mismatch

Hash Sum mismatch

The downloaded file does not match the file on the source's server. This is often caused by a download getting interrupted before it finished, sometimes due to network problems and sometimes due to server problems.

If you get this for many packages, try a more reliable internet connection or try again later. If your internet connection is fine for downloading other packages, including from other repositories, there may be a problem with the package or the repository. It may be helpful to report this to the repository manager.

Host Unreachable

Host Unreachable

This may mean that your internet connection is not working, a source is not working, or something else is not working (such as the Cydia Store system). This is probably a temporary problem, so try again later.

If you get this error while trying to download a paid package you have already purchased, email saurik@saurik.com for help. If you are trying to download a paid package you have not purchased, buy it and then try downloading it again. If you are trying to download a free add-on to a paid package (for example, a package adding a new option to Color Keyboard), you have to purchase that paid package before you will be able to download this add-on.

You are trying to install a new package that contains the same filenames as a package you already have installed, so you cannot install this new package. You can usually avoid this problem by avoiding (or uninstalling) illegally copied versions of packages.

Problem with MergeList [file]
The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

This happens if you are using an old Cydia version (before 1.1.10) and have too many packages available from your installed sources. You will need to refresh your sources and update all relevant packages, so that you get the latest versions of Cydia and associated packages - but in order to do that, you'll first need to fix this error. The error means that you have more than 65,535 packages available from your installed sources, and your old version of Cydia cannot handle that many. Go to Manage, tap Sources, tap "Edit" at top right, and remove some sources. Make sure to keep the default repositories (BigBoss, Cydia/Telesphoreo, ModMyi, and ZodTTD/MacCiti). If some sources don't have a "remove" button when you try to remove them, that usually means they were installed as packages. Go to Manage, tap Packages, find the package with the source's name, and uninstall that package. After removing a few extra sources, you should be able to refresh data without this error.
