Do you know how did that happen?

I will not try to fix it, because my connection to sf is too slow, and=20
interactive sessions are a pain. But to fix the demos just follow the=20
script scripts/htdocs-gen_plot-examples.sh. It might even happens that=20
a htdocs_plot_examples.tgz file is still in the www site, and one only=20
needs to extract its files.
