Did you try to download the package
Code:
apt-get install tar-gnu -d
change directories to /var/cache/apt/archives and install it with
Code:
dpkg -i tar-gnu
manually? There are a couple of --force-... options there to apply some more pressure.

Looks like the post-install script is messed up. Checking mine, it appears that maemo-optify has broken it. Try editing the script (/var/lib/dpkg/info/tar-gnu.postinst) and removing the optify line at the end. The documentation isn't actually installed, so it's failing when trying to optify it.

Sorry - looks like it was the postrm script that was failing. All that does is remove /usr/bin/gtar if it's a symlink, so you could try checking that with "ls -l /usr/bin/gtar".
