Description Olivier Mehani 2011-08-30 10:52:06 UTC
It seems slashbox has vanished in the texlive-latexextra-2010--2011 transition.

Is there a replacement, or has it moved into another package?

Hum, maybe a clarification about why slashbox has been removed [0]: “Packages are removed when there are license problems (i.e., if it is not made clear that the package is released under a free license): http://ctan.org/pkg/slashbox” I suppose in these conditions, it's not really possible to keep slashbox in until the license is clarified...

yep and this should be discussed upstream, though if you use it, you could send us an ebuild for a dev-tex/slashbox, i have no problem including it outside of texlive bundles.
