With your 2nd form, I have error: tar: opt/amq/activemq-all-5.11.0.redhat-630495.jar: Not found in archive, and the resulting tar is much smaller than the original one. It stops at lib/ and did not process dirs afterwards, as tar errors out. The first form works the same. Thanks for helping. I see this tar is so widely used but still with much myth around it.

I'm pretty sure this cat tar_archive | tar f - --delete filename_to_delete >another_archive can be simplified to <tar_archive tar f - --delete filename_to_delete >another_archive and probably even to tar f tar_archive --delete filename_to_delete >another_archive.
