I'm getting this error when cydia is updating for the first time. It's a clean install btw.

Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned
an error code (2)

and this is cydia's log for the error.

dpkg: parse error in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status near
line 26 package 'firmware':
duplicate value for user-defined field 'Name'

Can you guys duplicate the error? Maybe my cydia is broken...

-------

Fixed: I changed the status file.

The duplicate was: 'Name: Debian Packager' and 'Name: iPhone firmware'

thanks

How do you do this fix?

Hey there. The actual problem is that ICY (the other installer) is no longer supported with this 3.0 update . So.. the only way to fix this is to re-jailbreak the iPhone, fixing this problem. You actually need to re-jailbreak it, either using redsn0w or pwnagetool, but this time, check off icy. And if you re-jailbreak and ICY is still there, DONT OPEN IT! It will only mess it up again, since ICY doesnt know the proper directories for the new software. I hope this fixes your problem and if it doesnt then just tell me and ill try to help again.

when trying to update cydia i get the following error message:

"Internal Error. Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on gzip"

How can i try and deal with is, besides ignoring it, lol.

thanks in advance.

you guys have to re-jailbreak (yes, restore also) with ONLY CYDIA selected. Then, if you want to though I wouldn't recommend, install Icy from Cydia AFTER you have restored and jailbreaked. DON'T SELECT BOTH INSTALLERS FROM REDSNOW 0.72!!!

I was jailbreaking my iPhone 3G and selected both Cydia and Icy... I followed the instructions and jailbroke it again, by selecting only Cydia, but Icy icon is still available.. Anybody knows how to fix this? I mean how to remove Icy icon..

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

You did not restored, just reran redsn0w.

So the damage is done, and cannot be undone by a re run of redsn0w.

Try to restore and then use redsn0w without icy.
