Not necessarily. One might actually be a symbolic link to the other.
Try the following to check this
  ls -l /etc/texmf/web2c/metafun.mem /var/lib/texmf/web2c/metafun.mem
and just to make sure also:
 ls -ld /etc/texmf/web2c /var/lib/texmf/web2c

They were not links. No idea where they came from. Removing them did
not solve anything.

The file used by TeX can actually found using:
   kpsewhich metafun.mem
and gives here:
  /var/lib/texmf/web2c/metafun.mem

johans@smoke:~$ kpsewhich metafun.mem
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/metafun.mem

Regards, Johan
