I have installed a corrected version of the package framed.sty at tug.ctan.org and it will make its way through the mirroring system in the next day or two.
This fixes the mistaken installation that I did yesterday, where the file had 0 bytes. Thank you to the people who wrote with a heads-up about the error.
You can look at the file at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/framed.sty .
