Yes, sure. kpsewhich didn't found that
/usr/share/texmf/etex/latex/misc/etex.sty. I'm sure that has changed
between teTeX 2.0 and 3.0. It was found by elatex, but not by latex,
even if latex is a pointer to etex.

I was rather asking: Could you give me a minimal TeX file, which
compiles with that symlink, but don't without?
etex.sty seems to be necessary to e-TeX, so nevermind.
