Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: w3c-dtd-xhtml
On 2008-02-04, Ubuntu (in the person of one Onkar Shinde) made a change
to the package w3c-dtd-xhtml over the Debian version 1.1-5 of it,
creating version 1.1-5ubuntu1, in order to install files such as xhtml-
lat1.ent in the directory /usr/share/xml/xhtml/schema/dtd/1.0 rather
than /usr/share/xml/entities/xhtml where they had been residing
previously. Unfortunately, by doing so, the catalog file referencing
the files already in this directory was clobbered.
This means that /usr/share/xml/xhtml/schema/dtd/1.0/catalog does not
reference the files xhtml1-strict.dtd, xhtml1-transitional.dtd,
xhtml1-frameset.dtd and xhtml1.dcl which reside there.
The practical consequence is that on Ubuntu this completely breaks the
program "validate" from the package wdg-html-validator when trying to
validate an XHTML 1.0 file: it does not look for the xhtml1 declaration
and DTD locally, so it tries to fetch them from the Web, and the W3C
server refuses to serve them to such automated tools for whatever
reason.
I will try to provide a patch if I can understand how SGML catalog
installation works, but the simplest fix is just to revert to the Debian
version.
