Ah, the problem is that the Uulsy.fd file is missing. It is also missing
in upstream, although it is quite short.

2 things:
- put the following file as Uusly.fd somewhere in the latex input path
  (either the current directory . or 
  /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/ulsy/Uulsy.fd)
------ Uulsy.fd -----
\def\fileversion{1.0}
\def\filedate{1.2.1995}
\def\docdate{1.2.1995}
\DeclareFontFamily{U}{ulsy}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{ulsy}{m}{n}
   {  <10><12> ulsy10}{}
\endinput
-------

This will not be enough because there is still something wrong with your
input file:

> \documentclass{article}
> \usepackage{ulsy}

You cannot use this in math mode, this should be
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ulsy}
\begin{document}
\blitza
\end{document}

Which works here. Although the Type1 font is not found (the map file is
not activated!), but the pixel font is created.

I will fix this in one of the next releases.

Best wishes

Norbert
