The directory CTAN:/macros/latex/packages has been superseded

With the 1998/12/01 release of LaTeX, the packages subdirectory of the LaTeX distribution has been withdrawn.

Subdirectories of the old packages directory are now available as follows:

amslatex/

now available from macros/latex/required/amslatex/

babel/

now available from macros/latex/required/babel/

expl3/

now available from macros/latex/exptl/project/expl3/

graphics/

now available from macros/latex/required/graphics/

mfnfss/

now available from macros/latex/contrib/supported/mfnfss/

psnfss/

now available from macros/latex/required/psnfss/

tools/

now available from macros/latex/required/tools/

Some rationale for these changes is given in the latest issue of LaTeX news (source in the distribution, but also available from the doc directory).
