What kind of system are you using ?

In current versions of Debian, /etc/mtab should be a symlink to /proc/mounts.

/proc/mounts is actually a symlink to /proc/self/mounts.

Was your desktop initially installed with a rather older Debian version and upgraded ?

  it has been installed with Lenny, which is now an old version, but was
  at that time the current one...
  and then upgrade to Squeeze, Wheezy, Jessie and Stretch
