How to raise the APT limit

[mcmuzzy]

I am trying to raise the APT limit on my iphone 4

i have been getting this error when refreshing sources

Wow, you exceeded the number of package names this APT is capable of.
Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/list/status
The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I found the following instructions for terminal but i am using Putty on win 7 x64
i have managed to make the connection to the phone however do not know the windows putty commands to initiate the changes.
i tried going into /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ to edit the 70debconf. file but the file was not there.
The apt.conf.d folder is empty

From the following terminal instructions could somebody please convert it to windows putty commands and also tell me how to create a 70debconf. file and what goes in it so i can drop it in to the directory with funbox if possible



Terminal instructions

solution to fix it is just increase the value APT::Cache-Limit at the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf.
sudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf.
Then put this code
APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";
at the below on that file and then save it.

Next typing this code on your terminal
sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
and you won’t find apt cache limit again in the next time.


Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated

Thanking you in advance
