If you have it, yes, that is true.

If this is the system where you encountered the issue, it looks like you
didn't update since June of this year.

As you can see here, there is no package containing that file:
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=stretch&arch=any&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=%2Fusr%2Fshare%2Ftexmf%2Ftex%2Flatex%2Ffpc-3.0.0%2Flistings.sty

We fixed this in June of this year.

Paul
