David Carlisle submitted an update to the
etex-pkg
package.
Version number: 2.5 2016-01-07 License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: E-TeX support package
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Minor update to etex.sty so that it defines globcount (to be ewcount) in the case that the extended registers are already being allocated and so the package quits with a warning. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/etex-pkg
More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/etex-pkg
We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .

Thanks for the upload.
Sadly Peter Breitenlohner, a co-author of this package, died last year, an obituary showing the range of his contributions to science and TeX may be found here:
