In that case, you might want to install KevinH's Access-Aide plugin.

Indeed - that was the end goal.
Both plugins now installed and happy to say validating the first books.

Thank you all for creating, maintaining and supporting these plugins!

After reading Wahahey's posts, it reminded me that I had noticed when running epubcheck that it was using 5.0.0. I checked my epubcheck's version, saw that it was listed as 0.4.6.2 so I removed it and downloaded and installed 0.4.6.3 from the link Doitsu provided.

Then I ran epubcheck on a good file and immediately the plugin runner informed me that it had found a new version, 5.0.0 which it proceeded to download and install from :

github.com/w3c/epubcheck/releases/download/v5.0.0/epubcheck-5.0.0.zip

Then it ran epubcheck 5.0.0 with no fault found. I introduced a simple error and reran epubcheck 5.0.0 and it correctly found the error.

Curiously, when I open Plugins/Manage plugins, it shows that I have epubcheck 0.4.6.3 installed. No mention of 5.0.0 except when actually running the plugin to check a file.

I am using Sigil 1.9.20 from the website's flatpak link in UbuntuStudio 22.04LTS. Sigil and epubcheck validation appears to be working ok with 5.0.0

There are two different version numbers:

the EpubCheck plugin version (0.4.6.3)
the W3C EPUBCheck Java file version (5.0.0)

In previous versions, the plugin was bundled with the latest W3C EPUBCheck Java files. However, I can no longer do this, because the Java files have become too large.
When you install the latest version of the plugin, it'll automatically download the latest W3C EPUBCheck v5.0.0 Java files using the same code that is used when downloading updated W3C EPUBCheck Java files.
That's why you got the new version found message.

The version of the java epubcheck program being used differs from the version of the EpubCheck plugin software.

Numerically they just happen to be close.

Thank you Doitsu and KevinH for the prompt replies. So all is good and no worries.
