Ok, I'm trying to reload my Cydia apps and I get the following error on the first command:

-sh: awk: command not found


Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The first command is not for the reloading of the apps. You should have run the first command before upgrading, when you still had all the apps on your phone.

Anyway, in the new pwn-bundles, Cydia doesn't come with the gawk package pre-installed -- that's where the error comes from. Next time you update, you can use Aptbackup before and after the upgrade to backup your list of apps.

Thanks, this answered my question. I installed gawk within Cydia and was able to initiate the commands, although I still ran into problems this time and I'm having to manually install my Cydia apps.

I've been unlucky with aptbackup in the past, which is why I do not use it. I might try it again next time I update my firmware.

Can this be simpler? Is there a need to do the awk stuff?

What do people think of this:

pre-rebuild:

Code:

dpkg --get-selections > install_list.txt

post-rebuild:

Code:

dpkg --set-selections < install_list.txt
dselect

No need for awk... still have to move the file around manually... but you could execute these commands from an 'ssh -e' prompt on your host computer...
