Cydia app installation problems


I have been hosting my app on a cydia repository for quite some time, and haven't had any problems hosting the app for iOS 5 or iOS 6. However, when I upgraded one of my devices to iOS 7, and tried to install the app it gave me some errors during the installation.

The erros I am getting are,

subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2

Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I've tried googling the errors, but haven't had much luck, and I just reread saurik's post about building a .deb file and creating a cydia repository, here I am still not sure why the package / .deb file would work in iOS 6 but then stop working in iOS 7.

I even created a simple test app with just button in it using Xcode 5, and that simple test app is giving me the same errors as stated above.


Solution

  • Apparently there's some compatibility issues with dpkg, Cydia, and the homebrew release of dpkg. I ended up finding this, which solved the install problem. :)
