Actually, it's supposed to be in texlive-latex-base.  It's an upstream
bug that it is not installed (the documentation is installed...).  I
fear that Norbert is already packging his suitcase of backpack, and
it'll be up to me to fix this...

For the time being and as a workaround, you can get ltxtable.tex from
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/supported/carlisle
(e.g. http://www.cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/carlisle/ltxtable.tex),
run latex on it, and it will produce ltxtable.sty in the current
directory.
