Evasi0n NetDB Open nodename Internal Server Error and POSIX errors in Cydia

With the recent release of Evasi0n 1.0 for iOS6, literally hundreds of thousands of people are slamming the Cydia servers and repos right now, trying to get all their favorite jailbreak tweaks installed. Unfortunately, all this congestion means that it is going to be more-or-less impossible for anyone to install anything for the next few hours. No matter what you try to install, you will likely be met with a red error in Cydia along the lines of "NetDB: Open nodename nor servname provided, or not known." "HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error" or "POSIX: Operation timed out"

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this but wait. Eventually the traffic will even out and calm down as more people get their devices jailbroken and then Cydia should start running smoothly again. This is an unfortunate downside of every jailbreak due to the demand placed on the servers upon initial release.

This is understanding

  When people give us FREE jailbreak, off course we will be full of understanding.
  Thanks for the explanation.

Oh, I was flipping out thinking my phone was screwed up. Thanks for this post and letting us know it was the servers.

I cannot login in order to restore my purchases. Is this due to the same problem?

I assumed most of you Jailbreakers knew about these failures during every JB Release.

New things you starters should know.

    go to manage then to packages and then down to the M’s and look for mobile substrate if thats not there search it and install it, it helped me

iOS itself is shit. What the hell did they think? – OMG WE NEED TO PUT AN UNUSEFULL APP ON THE HOME SCREEN AND CALL IT PASSBOOK!
What shall we delete?
-Newsstand
-Stocks
-F$@cking Newsstand

NON OF THEM! LETS DELETE YOUTUBE! WICH IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR APP!-
GASH i fucking hate ios… ;_;
I LUV EVASI0N! <3
- Rastaman
  
  you hate ios so much, why didnt you get an android?!
- JaeM1llz
  
  That decision actually makes sense when you think about it. Google is one of Apple’s strongest competitors and YouTube is, of course, owned by Google. They got rid of the YouTube app for the same reason they got rid of Google Maps.

  Just switch to Android. Newsstand gets used every single day on my iPhone, so does Passbook, and stocks. The old YouTube app sucked. Download the new one, way better. You’re an idiot, seriously.

    Jep i did now. Enjoy it like HELL. Cant wait for my new phone
