[racket-dev] Doc failure on release snapshot

I think the main problem is that the release snapshot is misconfigured.
When I download a release snapshot and look at the top-level README, it
says

 The distribution has been configured so that when you install or
 update packages, the package catalog at
   http://plt.eecs.northwestern.edu/snapshots/20131130-3d502f2/catalog/
 is consulted, first.

That URL should instead be

  http://plt.eecs.northwestern.edu/release-snapshots/20131130-3d502f2/catalog/

Since the URL was wrong, the package installation fetched sources via
"pkg.racket-lang.org" instead of using the ones for the snapshot.


Meanwhile, given the configuration, I think the right result would have
been an error that "scribble-lib" requires a newer version of "base"
and/or "racket" than you have installed. Either we need to update
versions and dependencies on the main-distribution libraries much more
carefully, or we need to at least adjust versions and dependencies
after we create a release branch.
