any idea? plus... i have installed using apt-get install tar-gnu
this should install the lasest version.

looking in app manager i see installed tar-gnu 1.22-2maemo5 ... but ar.gz and tar.bz2 are not working for me.
tar.gz crdeates an empy archive and tar.bz2 creates an arhive who can't be found anywhere.

you can create tar.gz and tar.bz2 after installing tar-gnu package?
another solution please?
