No wonder, the package was never included in TeXLive.  The fonts are
included, though, and the file antiqua.sty only contains trivial code:

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{antiqua}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{uaq}
\endinput

Is there a reason not to include this?  It appears to me as if TeXLive
contains the contents of CTAN://fonts/urw/antiqua/uaq.zip, not of
CTAN://fonts/psfonts/urwvf/*.
