Hi, The problem was the tar package. i have removed it with the apt-get remove tar. and i didn't succeed to reinstall it. since the installer and the update manager uses the tar commande( i think).
so, i had to reinstall my linux after that (and now everything is ok). So, what might be interresting is a small Howto to show how to install the TAR package . Thank you.
