Bug Description
Binary package hint: w3c-dtd-xhtml
xmlcatalog in ubuntu can't find xhtml1-strict.dtd.
The reason seems to be a change in w3c-dtd-xhtml, as it doesn't work in ubuntu:
$ xmlcatalog /etc/sgml/catalog "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
No entry for PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN
But with a clean Debian package it works correctly again:
$ sudo dpkg -i w3c-dtd-
dpkg - warning: downgrading w3c-dtd-xhtml from 1.1-5ubuntu1 to 1.1-5.
(Reading database ... 191473 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace w3c-dtd-xhtml 1.1-5ubuntu1 (using w3c-dtd-

This bug causes validate from wdg-html-validator to be useless (for me), since it has to fetch the XHTML DTD over the network for every attempt at validation.
It has been this way for over a year. /msg05786. html

It also results in w3c blocking scripts that use validate: /lists. ubuntu. com/archives/ ubuntu- motu/2009- July/005967. html

Please note that there is no other offline XHTML validator in Ubuntu or Debian
Can we please bump the Importance up?
