I can confirm that the fancyheadings.sty is not installed withe neither texlive-latex-extra nor tetex-extra packages.
I do not see any reason to declare the packages fancyheadings.sty as obsolete; even if there is one, there is no reason to remove it from Ubuntu, ever. If not in main packages, it could be available as 'latex-compat' or similar. I had to processed some of my older Latex files, and instead of getting a DVI in a second I had to google for hours to find why the thing does not work. Clearly the suggested s/fancyheadings/fancyhdr/ is *NOT* a solution. Think of the archive files processed off CD... Please, put the fancyheadings.sty back into some Ubuntu package.

Yes we all *can* put it into TEXMFLOCAL, or install LaTeX by hand into /usr/local/, or make our own .deb package, or even our own Linux-from--scratch distro -- but then the whole sence in using Ubuntu vanishes. The lack of backwards compartibility is a serious problem and hits the usability of LaTeX in general and Ubuntu in particular. Remember all these MS .doc files that could not be read with the next version of Word? I use(d) LaTeX exactely for the purpose of having my texts available in the future when I need them. Having arbitrary packages marked as "obsolete" and removed without explanation leaves me (us?) with a bitter feeling...
