The files in question were removed, see [1]. The last commit note
actually is:
"gothic CTAN sync, now excluding yfonts-t1 and blacklettert1 and yinit-as"
The reason I can't see, I just noticed that the yinit-as package has no
license statement on CTAN.
Unfortunately the yfonts.sty file still refers to the fonts by (A)ndreas
(S)chrell. So the file needs either to be fixed to not use AS or simply
be removed.
@Norbert: could you care about this?
