here's what it says if you use the
ctan search and click on "times":

  The package is now obsolete, replaced by the mathptmx package,
  which supports Times Roman text and (mostly) matching mathematics. 

  The package remains available, for compatibility; both it and mathptmx
  are part of psnfss.
