Coolstar has just tweeted about updating APT on Cydia.

DO NOT DO IT!!!!!

if you have done that and are getting warnings when you open cydia or if sources and tweaks don't work, Don't panic!

there has already been a fix for it

all you need to do is download http://www.mediafire.com/file/vn396hkgha7yh3v/apt7-lib_0.7.25.3-15_iphoneos-arm.deb

 

Open WinSCP

 

Log in with your IP Address (default username: root           password: alpine )

 

go to /private/var/tmp and place the debian file into the folder

 

open the Terminal and type in ->

 

1. cd /var/tmp

2. dpkg -i apt7-lib_0.7.25.3-15_iphoneos-arm.deb

3. killall -9 SpringBoard

 

Now your device will respring and Cydia should work properly!!
