Packages cancel and schulschriften_lin not working together?

Question

When I use the "schulschriften_lin"-package, cancellation is no longer working (see MWE).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{cancel}

\usepackage{schulschriften_lin} % Lineaturen fuer Schulschriften

\begin{document}
    \[ y = \frac{5\cdot 27}{9 \cdot 5} \]

    \[ y = \frac{\cancel{5} \cdot 27}{9 \cdot \cancel{5} } \]
\end{document}

Any suggestion to reactivate cancel?

The problem is related to the fact that the eepic package gets loaded which redefines low-level commands related to \line. — Steven B. Segletes, Sep 12 '17 at 11:13

Load cancel later:

For running xelatex:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{schulschriften_lin} % Lineaturen fuer Schulschriften
\usepackage{cancel}
\begin{document}
    \[ y = \frac{5\cdot 27}{9 \cdot 5} \]

    \[ y = \frac{\cancel{5} \cdot 27}{9 \cdot \cancel{5} } \]
\end{document}

for running pdflatex

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{pict2e}
\usepackage{schulschriften_lin} % Lineaturen fuer Schulschriften
\usepackage{cancel}
\begin{document}
    \[ y = \frac{5\cdot 27}{9 \cdot 5} \]

    \[ y = \frac{\cancel{5} \cdot 27}{9 \cdot \cancel{5} } \]
\end{document}

This "fix" does not work for my installation (and I am not the OP). – Steven B. Segletes Sep 12 '17 at 10:36
