If you reset your iPad, shouldn't the jailbreak be gone? Why do you still have cydia?

Now that I think about it, I did have the same problem as yours, none of the packages appeared in cydia, and everytime I opened it, an error message popped up.

I restored everything with iTunes, Set up my iPhone and rejailbroke it.

Everything worked fine in cydia, no error message and all the packages appeared. If iTunes doesn't solve it, then it's a lost cause.

I don't know, I only used iTunes.

Try downloading an older version.
