This sometimes happens because of the make process. Files are broken but have a current timestamp. Make thinks they are current and doesn't try to rebuild them. I often find a "make clean" helps by gettingt rid of the broken pieces. Then, you can reupdate and build the docs. FWIW, I did a make clean and can build the US books.
