more's the pity.  tex live maintains a current copy of things; you chose
an outdated copy of marvosym (presumably without reference to the ctan
catalogue, which doesn't list it).

tex live gets its marvosym from fonts/marvosym

fwiw, i've moved the obsolete version out of the way; it will no longer
be available from any "proper" mirror, at the old address, in a day or
so.
