Cheers James.
I was able to download apt_0.6.45_i386.deb from snapshot.debian.net
And especially ... I was able to repair apt-get functionalities :-) after 
installing 0.6.45 over the 0.6.46.

Is Debian Community a place something close to the Paradise ?
Anyway thanks to all. 

Note : definitely this problem sounds like :
