It is 'exampleData' so only needed for checks.

My dept's Sophos does not complain so there is a chance this is corrupt 
and I would try re-installing.  Preferably from sources, as that is a 
rather old version of the package and the failure on the current version 
was an internet access failure.

Simon: could you retry this?
