Cyfix fully removes troublesome repositories that were incorrectly entered (typo), inappropriately added (restricted access), have gone corruped, or have closed down. These repositories throw up errors in Cydia upon every refresh and every source installation/removal process.
These errorsome repositories also tend to either not show up within the Cydia GUI under Sources, or in some way or other prevent you from removing them. Cyfix will forcibly remove all traces of them for you.

Usage: cyfix -d
       - remove selected repositories
