It should be (and probably is...) in /var/lib/texmf/web2c/ (since about
a year if you followed unstable or testing). Please send us the output
of the following commands:
ls -ld /usr/share/texmf/web2c
ls -ld /var/lib/texmf/web2c
ls -l /usr/share/texmf/web2c/
The last command has the following output on my system with teTeX-3.0:

That is, it should contain only files with extensions tcx, pool, and
opt, plus symlinks to configuration files and the three mktex* scripts.
The symlink from mfw.base to mf.base is actually a bug.
You can delete (or move out of the way) all other files, especially
files with extension fmt or efmt. After that, please try again...
