Upstream change: pst-char.sty seems to be part of pst-text.sty. See
Section 4 in 'texdoc pstnews1-15'.

Arabiftoday.sty does not exist, but we do have arabiftoday.sty. Looks
like the developer of arabi works on a Windows machine and does not
know about case sensitve file systems. :-( Who wants to get in touch
with him?

Here we have to issues: Upstream actually contains
traditionalarabic.tfm, not TraditionalArabic.tfm. However, this file
is not installed with Debian (don't know about TeX Live proper),
probably because the real fonts corresponding to these metrics cannot
be included in the distribution as they are nonfree fonts from
Microsoft. Chapter 7 of 'texdoc user_guide' seems to provide more
information on this.
