Did you just update your iPhone 3G, jailbreak with Redsn0w, and try to update packages in Cydia only to find this message: Error Couldn’t configure pre-depend dpkg for ncurses, probably a dependency cycle.
The Fix: It is caused by installing ICY. Rejailbreak and do not select ICY. You can just rejailbreak using redsn0w 0.7.1 and you do not need to restore the firmware.
Worked like a charm!
Ok guys I rejailbroke the phone using redsn0w and checked just cydia and everything works fine. I see the repo ultrasnow downloaded but I cannot see the actual utility. I still have AT&T original and I unlocked preparing my iPhone for Europe. I tried with my wife AT&T card and it works but I am not sure if it has retained the unlocking. Do you guys see the ultrasnow package somewhere installed after you rejailbrake it? Thanks luigi
There is no application for UltraSn0w. As long as it shows up in your list of installed packages in Cydia you are good to go.
For those with “could not perform immediate configuration (2) on essential” errors this works also. Just rejailbreak. No worries. To get rid of the icy icon, install CYDelete. >p00f< no more icy.
Finally it worked!!!! thanx a million for this wonderful fix.
if i reinstall icy with cydia after re jailbreaking without icy would the problem return.
Awesome! Worked like a charm! Thanks very much!!!! 🙂
Thanks this fix my problem to the point. Keep up the great work.
WORKED LIKE A CHARM !!!!!!!
Thanks
So all I need to do is open up redsn0w again and re-jailbreak. No iTunes required?
Thanks! I was helping a friend with this error and also an error installing grep. This worked perfectly.
thanks! you saved the day!!

I NEED TO LEARN TO RREADDDD! lol. i spent hours re-syncing all my shit onto my ipod touch and then i had this problem… instantly i restored the ipod then re-jailbroke it… Had I read, i could have just unchecked the ICY and rejailbroken it, fixing the problem AND letting me still have my fking stuff…. DAMNIT! lol

Thank you very much.
I completed jailbreak for my iPhone3G.
The installation of “core Utility” ended by the favor, too.

Thx! fix like a charm
OR, you can just install the things WITH icy. I never knew what ICY was until now — it apparently has everything that’s in cydia! It is also a cooler interface, and MUCH faster than Cydia! I think maybe ICY and Cydia are competitors? Just a guess – all I know is I went into ICY and saw all the exact same things.
My problem is… HOW COME NO THEMES I INSTALL THROUGH EITHER Cydia OR ICY WORK???
ALSO YOU CAN GO TO THE Cydia PAGE RIGHT THROUGH ICY!
NEVERMIND now I see the Winterboard Icon – I need to use that. ANYWAYS DON’T UNINSTALL ICY!!!
JUST **USE** ICY! =) =) =)
(Instead of going to Cydia)
IT IS A COOLER INTERFACE AND **MUCH** FASTER!!! EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY THE SAME AND YOU CAN GO TO THE CORRESPONDING Cydia PAGE FROM WITHIN ICY!!!
help!!! 2G IPHONE 3.0 FINAL OS JAILBROKEN WITH REDSN0W, WINTERBOARD INSTALLED, THEMES DO NOT WORK!
This worked perfect! I used redsnow 0.7.2 and iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw
tmobile iphone 2g os3
Yippie *_* This worked like a charm!! I appreciate your information. Now I get winterboard back! My iphone was so naked without it LOL Thanks again!!
@bimmermd
Alright first of all chill with the caps man.
Second of all the reason your themes are not working is because of the fact that you installed Icy. For some stupid reason Icy doesn’t allow the Winterboard update. Thus without this update you cannot completely theme 3.0. Hence why this thread was made in the first place.
Hope this helps.
@ MichelGamache
Sorry man, you’re wrong. My themes work fine now. I just had to reinstall Winterboard.
Icy is so much faster than Cydia!
ICY AND CYDIA ARE COMPLETELY COMPATIBLE.
Thanks for the advice though.
Genius. God damn Genius.
@ Amaury
WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE MORON! Children read this!!!
Thank you man. you are the $hit. after days of wtf moments. i luckily found this site. yes you do not need to back up. just run redsnow with unlock and icy unchecked, and have the install cydia checked only. Voila . Worked as stated from 86 comments above me.
check out trancancook on youtube.
Gracias! Realmente funciona!
Thnks, works as you said! Greettings from Guatemala!
@ mrV1et,
sure, if you do NOT want your phone unlocked.
p.s. I use ICY and it’s the best. What I did was first unlock it with all three checked, then I unlocked it again with ICY unchecked and everything worked great and I use ICY because it’s so much faster than Cydia.
Hi, I have the same problem on my iPhone 3g os 3.0. I tried your solution but it did not do anything to help. I ran it again but it still did not do anything. Please help me.
omfg thx u so much, had problems withs this for weeks
hey guys
i have ultrasnOw 0.6 with cydia and icy on my 3g i wanted to know if i can put redsnow right away or delete ultrasnow before
im a begginer so please let me know and how do to it
thanx
it worked for me, even my cydia was in spanish and it stay like was and all applicatons worked fine.
If you guys want to get rid of the Icy icon, just download SBSettings or BossPrefs to hide the icon.
🙂
