Ugh!

This seems to be a really old issue The libraries have been reorganized, see e.g.:

That page links to a google-spreadsheet with old deprecated libraries and new ones.

It seems that the standard fp-lib-table is hopelessly outdated here:

KiCad/kicad-library/blob/master/template/fp-lib-table.for-github

(fp_lib_table
  (lib (name Battery_Holders)(type Github)(uri ${KIGITHUB}/Battery_Holders.pretty)(options "")(descr "Batteries and battery holders"))
