Sorry, I missed this. I think it would be better if you just use
reportbug next time. It makes it easier to track this kind of
information - the last days I mainly dealt with people who were using
texlive 2007.
There is indeed a bug in texlive-fonts-extra_2005..., it cannot process
its own included asamples.tex (although the error I get, on a clean
install, is a different one:
# cp /usr/share/doc/texlive-fonts-extra/fonts/archaic/asamples.tex.gz .
# gunzip asamples.tex.gz
# latex asamples.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.5-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)

It seems as if the file was either non-functional on CTAN at a certain
point in time, or the update of texlive 2005 was incomplete. As I said
earlier in the thread, there is no problem in the 2007 packages in
experimental (or in NEW, rather) and tug.org.
