Try and do an 'apt-get install tar' and see what the mighty package maintainer will bestow upon yer. Here's a sample:

Code:
~ # apt-get install tar

  libodnp busybox-symlinks-dnsutils libtelepathy-omb-glib0 tzdata-libicu <list too long, forum won't let me post message> xserver-security-policy l10n-app-google l10n-app-common
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Suggested packages:
  bzip2 ncompress
The following packages will be REMOVED
  about-contents-prod <list too long, forum won't let me post> youtube-plugin-meta
The following NEW packages will be installed
  tar
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 544 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 936kB of archives.
After this operation, 1,285MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
I did press Y, because i though it was f.cking kidding me. For the worst, it turned out that is was just f.cking me, without the kidding part.

I am pretty sure the above is the N9 so no battery can be removed. Secondly, tar on the N9 is a dependency of the meta package mp-harmattan and removing it too in turn results in most other system packages being removed as mp-harmattan is the glue holding all these packages.
It's a frankly stupid system implemented by Nokia but then you should not be accepting the dialog confirmation from apt-get...

I tried similarly "apt-get install gzip" after I had received gzip ERROR in "apt-get ugrade" and it had similar result (removing many mainly pakages (5.x MB), and I press Y, but fortunately after restarting the phone is working and I see no problem apparently (I didn't add development sdk repo to my device).
What is your opinion?

Please tell me why would you need to do that, as tar should already be present on your device...?

Because it wasn't on the device: not found.

Anyway, i just though of giving a heads up with this thread. The whole thing restarted midway, the phone booted and just lacked a lot of apps, like call, messages, ..., etc. After reflash it's ok, along with settings and such. Just needed to reinstall some third party apps.

And equally for gzip: same as tar it's coming via busybox (although probably in a slightly limited version) which is included in default flashed image.
Code:
~ $ dpkg -S /bin/tar
busybox: /bin/tar

~ $ dpkg -S /bin/gzip
busybox: /bin/gzip

~ $ apt-cache rdepends busybox
busybox
Reverse Depends:
  mp-harmattan-001-pr
  mp-harmattan-001-pr
