I just JB my Air and Cydia is still trying to find the upgrades, it’s loading but nothing’s happening and I keep getting POSIX: Operation time out error. Also the it’s still the old look.
Any ideas and suggestions? Do I have to re-jailbreak?
cheers

re run the jailbreak, if it does not work if possible do a clean install of your OS and then jailbreak, it eliminates all problem

I think it is just cydia traffic issue. No need to re-jailbreak or anything. Try again later in some time.

Correct, it’s busy!

Did you do as Cydia instructs ? Open Cydia and let it organize itself, then it closes automatically, then when you re-open it, it will ask if you want to do essential upgrades – answer yes – complete essential upgrades.

I have the same issue and I’ve done all of the above. It must be a timeout due to traffic.

If any or your installed repos are down (off-line), you will encounter the error.

“POSIX error: Operation Timed Out”: Make sure your device has access to the internet and try again. If this error keeps happening, it is likely caused by a repository server being temporarily offline. Try again later. You can also choose to remove the repository (see the method above).
“GPG error”: This means that a repository is configured incorrectly. You can usually safely ignore this.

For me, deleting the Ultrasnow repo did it.
I don’t see any updates since yesterday at 2pm, however, but I no longer get the same error message.

same on both comments for me
i just did a restore and am about to reJB just to get everything back to base and then add packages as i know they are ready. but that is just for my piece of mind i suppose as this seems to happen every new JB and then after traffic or updates or whatever it irons itself out.

Thanks everyone. Deleting Ultrasnow helped. now it works fine..
thanks
Want a fix for Cydia POSIX: Operation Timed Out and Host unreachable error when installing tweaks after unc0ver iOS 12 jailbreak? Here’s what you need to know.
It’s not unusual for new jailbreaks to have teething troubles, particularly because of the things they’re doing to make the jailbreak work in the first place. Problems are to be expected, but if you’re left with a device that is mid-jailbreak, it can be not only frustrating, but also a little scary, too.
With the recent arrival of the unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 12, some have noticed an issue. Namely, they’re seeing timeout errors in Cydia.
The issue in particular sees some users receive errors that say “POSIX: Operation Times Out” or “Host Unreachable,” neither of which sounds like a good thing. You may be left concerned that Cydia isn’t going to work, and for most jailbreakers, that just won’t do. Thankfully, it’s not the end of the world.
The simple fact of the matter is that the popularity of the new jailbreak has left the BigBoss repository a little under the weather. In fact, it’s essentially unavailable due to the increased load which is causing Cydia to complain at various intervals. That might not sound like a good thing, but it really is because it also means that eventually the load on the BigBoss repository will subside, allowing it to function as normal.
What this all means is that we can expect the errors to go away of their own accord, so if you’re in this station, hang tight. Help is at hand.

I keep getting stuck in Safe Mode!
This usually means that one of your installed packages is broken or misbehaving in some way. Follow the instructions on the Safe Mode help page to solve the issue (including uninstalling recently-installed extensions, checking for iOS version compatibility, and making sure your packages are from trusted sources).
If you paid for a package that consistently is not working, you may want to email the author using the contact link provided on top of the package’s description page in Cydia.
How do I keep my device safe and using minimal battery?
Use the same caution when installing packages from Cydia that you’d use when installing software on your desktop computer, including researching first and choosing software from reputable developers. The community repositories (BigBoss, ModMyi, and ZodTTD/MacCiti) keep an eye on the packages they distribute, but ultimately it is up to you to decide what to put on your device.
Most extensions by experienced developers add little or no battery usage. Often the best way to save battery on your device is to turn off WiFi and 3G when you do not need them for a while. Other than that, you may see a bit of increased battery usage from extensions and tweaks that use the internet frequently (such as ones that check for mail, check the weather, or activate a personal WiFi hotspot) or change the screen frequently (such as video wallpapers and animated lockscreens).
How do I fix these annoying errors that pop up while using Cydia?
If you’ve just installed Cydia on your device and you see “cannot locate package” errors, close Cydia and open it again, and then wait for it to finish downloading and loading data.
If you see “untrusted server certificate” or “an SSL error has occurred” preventing you from using Cydia, check to make sure your device’s date is set correctly (using your device’s Settings app).
If your device finishes reloading data and then pops up a black screen including red and yellow errors, they usually indicate a problem with one of the repositories you have installed (or sometimes one of the packages). Cydia is still working fine, but you may want to try refreshing data again or removing the broken repository. Keep in mind that Cydia has no control over third-party repositories. Common repository (source) errors include:
“Failed to fetch”: This usually happens when a source does not exist. You may have typed in the wrong URL, the source may have shut down, or the source may be broken. This is often a temporary problem, so wait a few hours and try reloading data again. If it keeps happening, look carefully at the error message to find the URL of the broken repository, and then you can choose to remove that repository by going to Sources and tapping Edit. If the source can’t be removed that way, it may have been installed as a package, which means you need to uninstall that repository package.
“POSIX error: Operation Timed Out”: Make sure your device has access to the internet and try again. If this error keeps happening, it is likely caused by a repository server being temporarily offline. Try again later. You can also choose to remove the repository (see the method above).
“GPG error”: This means that a repository is configured incorrectly. You can usually safely ignore this.
If I use Apple’s Erase All Content and Settings option, why does my device not boot?
On jailbroken devices, using the “Erase All Content and Settings” option in your device’s Settings app will cause your device to require a full restore. 🙁
This happens because during the process of jailbreaking, your jailbreaking tool reorganizes some of the files on your device in order to make room for Cydia and other jailbreak-only files, so the “Erase All Content and Settings” option ends up erasing important files instead of just settings.
