We do the JailBreak, we install Cydia, everything is going well… Until it starts to go wrong. Cydia is an application, a computer program, and it also has bugs that result in error messages, often incomprehensible to most users, however almost all have a solution very simple, as in life, knowing where an error has occurred is the first step to solve it.
In this Post we will see the solution to all Cydia errors and we will explain how to solve them so that you can continue enjoying your JailBreak. The errors will appear in English, look for yours in the list and solve it with our indications.
Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock – open (35: Resource temporarily unavailable)
The error is due to...
Cydia can't update your data because another program is already using the system resource needed to do so. This error usually occurs because another program that updates the data is already being used, such as Curiosities (A Tweak that sends us notifications every time a Cydia Tweak is updated)
Solution:
Reboot your device and enter Cydia again, if the error persists you will have to uninstall Curiosa or other Tweaks that do something similar to this.
Domain #10: -72000
The error is due to...
Cydia ran into some kind of network problem. These errors are usually caused by the use of packages that add ad blocking lines.
Solution:
Uninstall the Crash Tweaks to fix the issue.
dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg configure -a' to correct the problem
The error is due to...
Cydia is trying to fix a problem automatically.
Solution:
If this is the only error message you get, you can ignore it and continue using Cydia normally, the same program will resolve the conflict.
Encountered a section with no Package: header
The error is due to...
One of the Repos or sources that you have installed is misconfigured and is giving you problems.
Solution:
You will have to delete the problematic Repo, for this go into Cydia and go to Manage/Sources and tap on edit, which you will see at the top right of the screen, delete the Repo that you think may cause the problem.
If you are not sure which one to remove, you can remove them all and leave only the ones that come by default when you install Cydia. (BigBoss, Cydia/Telesphoreo, Dev Team, Modmyi, and ZodTTD/MacCiti)
failed in buffer_write(fd) (7, ret=-1) Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The error is due to...
There is not enough disk space to install what you want to install. (It can be storage space on the device itself or on the partition that makes cydia or both)
Solution:
Most of the Cydia Tweaks weigh very little, but there are some that do have a considerable size, such as Winterboard themes or similar, if you want to install them and you don't have space you can try to free up megabytes from the device by deleting applications, photos or videos .
If the problem is in the partition, try to empty the junk files that accumulate on the iPhone, using iFile follow this route to get rid of them (/var/mobile/Library/iFile/Trash)
gpg error: [repository] stable Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2
The error is due to...
One of the Repos that you have installed is temporarily or permanently out of service. You may have entered the wrong address of the Repo, or the Repo has closed or is denying the connection for other reasons.
Solution:
It is an external problem that must be solved by the administrator of the Repo, try to connect again after a few hours.
If the problem persists for a few days you can delete the Repo permanently to avoid the error message by going to Manage/Sources and clicking on the button Edit
hash sum mismatch
The error is due to...
The downloaded file does not match the file on the feed server. This error may be due to the fact that the download was interrupted before finishing, possibly due to problems in the network or in the download server itself.
Solution:
Just wait and try again later, it's a problem outside of Cydia.
Host Unreachable
The error is due to...
Your internet connection is not working or the Repo is not working.
Solution:
It's a temporary problem, just wait and try again later.
HTTP/1.0 403 This package is either paid or requires a paid package to function. If you paid: contact saurik@saurik.com for help. If not, purchase the original package.
The error is due to...
You are trying to download a paid Tweak that you have not purchased, or an add-on for a paid Tweak that you do not have.
Solution:
You will need to purchase and pay for the original Tweak before downloading the plugin you want.
HTTP / 1.1 500 Internal Server Error
The error is due to...
Something is wrong with the Repo you are trying to download the Tweak from.
Solution:
It's a temporary problem, please try again later.
I wasn't able to locate file for the [package] package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

I have iOS 9.02 and I installed Cydia with ih8sn0w and it doesn't open, it gives me an error connecting to the server and it also puts some error at the start of the main page.
Jailbreak cannot be done in iOS 9.0.2, do you have that version for sure?
Now if I have iOS 9.0.2 and the only thing I've managed to do is semi-jailbreak but cydia can't insulate it. Do you know if you can install cydia with ios9.0.2?
