I wrote an E-Mail to the author ("Alexander M. Budge" <ambudge <at> mit <dot> edu>) informing him about the problem. Unfortunately it came back: Recipient address rejected: 5.1.1 User unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command) Googling for a better one gained no result. Unless you find a contact address for Alexander we must assume that he doesn't maintain the package any more. The best solution would be to remove the package from TeX Live.
