Florin,

sofar is doing some development work on "theedge" and it currenly
has several bugs in it.  Unless you can live with testing theedge
you are better off reverting to "lin lunar" and using the regular
lunar core tools for the next few days.

Specifically your bug of /var/state/lunar/packages having multiple
entries, will be fixed shortly.  The other problem of tar emitting
spurious error messages is going to take a little time to track
down.
