I was trying to use LaTeX with the listings package.  This used to work
fine, but now the listings package does not appear to be installed.

The directory

/usr/athena/share/texmf/tex/latex/listings

exists, but the file listings.sty is not present.

This may be due to the LaTeX distribution included with the athena update.
I know that there were some problems with teTeX due to some licensing
issues, but I thought they were resolved:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-tetex-maint/2002/debian-tetex-maint-200212/msg00100.html

The solution is simply to include the missing files, which can be found at
CTAN:

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/listings/

then process by running:

latex listings.ins

to generate listings.sty etc. and

latex listings.dtx

several times to generate the documentation, which should be placed in

/usr/athena/share/texmf/doc/latex/listings/

(Though the documentation seems to be there presently.)
