my upload daemon tells me:

The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

Name of contribution: fmtcount Author's name: Nicola Talbot Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/fmtcount Summary description: Display the value of a LaTeX counter in a variety of formats License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

Version 1.3:

• no longer loads xspace package (was causing extraneous spaces when the optional argument to ordinalstring etc was omitted.)
• Made some long commands short.
• Changes licence text in fmtcount.ins to conform with LPPL.

i have installed the replacement as suggested, and have updated the catalogue repository. thanks for the upload.

Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fmtcount.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fmtcount

the catalogue entry will be updated in the next hour or so; the package itself will be at the other ctan sites in a few minutes, and mirrors should be up to date within 24 hours.
