Coolstar has released a patch for this APT bug with the release of Electra 1.02 today https://coolstar.org/electra/

 

Requirements: WinSCP for windows or Cyberduck for MacOS      

  1. Open WinSCP or CyberDuck. In this case i'm using CyberDuck on MacOS.
  2.  Press Open Connection (Located top left) 
  3.  Change FTP ( File Transfer Protocol) to SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)
  4.  The server is your IP address on your device. The IP address is located in Settings-WiFi and pressing the "i" icon, Type the IP address in the server box and the port should be 22
  5. Enter root as username 
  6. The password is alpine if you haven't changed it 
  7. once connected download this file  (  DOWNLOAD  ) 
  8. In CyberDuck head over to /Private/var/Mobile/Documents 
  9. Drag the deb file you downloaded ( DO NOT ARCHIVE IT ) to /private/var/mobile/Documents
  10.  Now, Open Terminal on Mac or PuTTY or windows 
  11. Type the following commands in Terminal 
  12. ssh [email protected] (the x are your ip adress which you typed in step 4)  ( PRESS ENTER )
  13. Then type in: cd /private/var/mobile/Documents ( PRESS ENTER )
  14. dpkg -i apt7-lib_0.7.25.3-15_iphoneos-arm.deb ( PRESS ENTER)
  15. Killall -9 SpringBoard ( PRESS ENTER ), this will cause your phone to respring

Now Cydia should be fixed!

a Tip from the reddit user Bedwej:

"To automatically ignore this update the next time you refresh sources, you could -select the tweak (APT 0.7 Strict lib) -select change package settings -tick ignore updates"

I did not create this fix so the credit goes towards the reddit user Bedwej
