Downloaded current source and confirmed. I'll look into the xml and prepare a patch.

revert legalnotice to entity Edit (615 bytes, text/plain)

at first look the issue appeared to be in legalnotice.xml since it doesn't validate. Giving an error about extra content.

However changing the include for ../../libs/C/legalnotice.xml back to the entity &legalnotice; fixes the validation error and allows the page to load. probably not the desired fix but it works. I'll dig further and see if I can find a better way to correct the problem.

Yes, it should be an entity. I've fixed this in our intrepid branch.

(For the future, we don't need two tasks open on bugs, just one is enough)

roger that, I only opened the second task because i couldn't triage the task in Ubuntu-doc. It won't happen again :)

We are getting so many duplicates of this bug that it's about time we had an upload to intrepid with the fix.

Please could someone sponsor an upload from the branch here:

https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-doc/ubuntu-intrepid

The package builds directly out of the branch and will fix a few other bugs too.

I've subscribed ubuntu-main-sponsors.

Uploading. Can you use (LP: #255088) in debian/changelog the next time?

Daniel - sorry for that, actually I'd added a whole new changelog entry with those details and committed it, but unfortunately forgot to push that to the launchpad branch. Whoops! I guess that changelog entry will go into the archive with the next upload.
