That package is in Texstar and Tex does not keep a 9.0 source anymore.
Make sure you have only defined 9.0 sources. If you install packages from  a 
9.1 source you could screw up your system.

The font handling in 9.1 is a *lot* better than 9.0, and since a lot of the 
9.0 sources are disappearing off the net I would recommend upgrading.
