I tried to run Cydia again, and it crashed immediately. I tried to reinstall Cydia, but there was a seemingly bigger problem:
mirex:~ root# apt-get install cydiaandreev2001 had a good suggestion, but it had the same result:
Bus errorackage lists... 0%
mirex:~ root#
mirex:~ root# apt-get updateFedor had the definitive solution:

Thanks from Italy, too!
I've tried to uninstall the iFon client from my iPhone with Cydia, but phone freezes... hard reboot and get your messages via shell/console/ssh or cydia crashes.
This morning, a simple:
$ ssh -l root@iPhone
# rm /var/cache/apt/*bin
# apt-get update
then launch cydia with my middle finger !
:^)
works great!!!
bye.

Cheers for the helpful post Richard. It also helped me fix a broken Cydia installation. Cydia was just crashing when it started up. Opening the Terminal app, su to root, then executing apt-get update did some jiggy stuff. I got some complaint about something related to Cydia, but even so when I tried starting up Cydia again up it came, right as rain :)) That's me happy.
Cheerio, Josh
Doesn't work for me. "apt-get install cydia" says there's some package missing that needs to be re-installed (a "chromium" pack for Winterboard).
Whatever I try to do with the terminall, I always end with this boring message about an archive missing.
I can run "apt-get update", it works well, but then, Cydia still crashes again.
Is there any way to tell apt-get (or Cydia) to forget about the "chromium" package?
Hmmm, how about:
apt-get remove chromium
?
Thanks Richard for the quick reply.
WHen I try "apt-get remove chromium", I also get that message:
E: The package com.custom.chromium-systemtheme needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
Same thing with "apt-get remove com.custom.chromium-systemtheme" or even with "apt-get install cydia"
Seems like I'm stuck with a crashing Cydia... I'm sure there's a way to fix it, but I can't find it. I'd like to avoid re-jailbreaking my iPhone and install everything once again :)

i got an error "FATAL -> Failed to fork
any ideas?? thanks!!
Hi,
I have the same problem but I did not install OpenSSH so I don't know how I can run these commands.
Can you help me please?
Thx.
One way or another, you need to repair your apt database. One way is to install OpenSSH and type some apt-get commands on your iPhone's command line. Another way might be to restore an old firmware and re-jailbreak your phone.
