Upgraded my iPhone4 from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1, used Absinthe 2.0.4 to jailbreak, used PkgBackup to re-install all my cydia tweaks. Some tweaks remained uninstalled so I went back to PkgBackup and restored them but still cannot do so. Tried to install them directly from Cydia but got this:
Error messages: subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2 sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Tried the following but with no use: 1- Get your way to the file and directory structure of your iPhone (through SSH or iFile or Mobile Terminal ...) 2- Look for the /var/lib/dpkg/ directory 3- You should be able to find the following files: available, availble-old, status, status-old 4- Rename "available" to "available-bak" 5- Rename "status" to "status-bak" 6- Rename "available-old" to "available" 7- Rename "status-old" to "status"8- Start Cydia , make sure that you allow Cydia to load completely first (just to be on the safe side ), try to install some apps.

Any idea how to fix this? Cheers |

According to google results for your error message, running the command (In other words, if you're getting that error but can still install some packages, try installing MobileTerminal via Cydia, and then type that command into MobileTerminal. It'll request your device's root password, which is "alpine" by default.) |
