Conclusion
If you experience issues refreshing some of your sources in Cydia post-installation (especially that of Sam Bingner’srepository), this is considered normal and expected behavior at this time. Diatrus intends to resolve repository refresh issues in a future update.
Moreover, while this is technically Diatrus’ custom fork of Cydia made to work with Sileo on the same device, it appears to work just as well as the official Cydia release at first glance.
