>Description:

parskip.sty disappeared from revision 1.12 of teTeX-texmf's PLIST on
2009/04/30:

   Replace the following LaTeX and Lambda packages of teTeX and their
   dependencies with the corresponding TeX Live packages: hyperref, exam,
   fancyhdr, placeins, rotating, and lambda.

However, after this point it was as best as I can tell not in any of
those packages but in tex-ltxmisc, from which it disappeared on
January 22 of this year:

   Update tex-ltxmisc to TeX Live r20350.

   Changes:
   - Removed the following styles: parskip, romanneg, secdot, section,
     sepnum, shadow, showtags, sphack, statex, and subfigmat.

As far as I can tell, there's a standalone parskip package in texlive
that should have been imported at this point but wasn't. (And what
about these other packages?)

If it's become deprecated, please document or link to documentation of
what one's supposed to do with old latex sources that use it.

>How-To-Repeat:

try building old latex sources, fail

>Fix:

import it?

as a workaround one can download the .sty file manually but that's a
pain...
