error when validating epub
I am converting an HTML file to epub 2 using Sigil.



I am using Pagina to check if its a valid epub.



It usually works, though with one book I am getting



ERROR NCX-001 /OEBPS/toc.ncx NCX identifier ('a0d8cc05-8c3c-48ce-ba5e-13722fae684f') does not match OPF identifier ('urn:uuid:a0d8cc05-8c3c-48ce-ba5e-13722fae684f').
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE ncx PUBLIC "-//NISO//DTD ncx 2005-1//EN"

"http://www.daisy.org/z3986/2005/ncx-2005-1.dtd">

</manifest>

<spine toc="ncx">

<itemref idref="t1.html"/>

</spine>

</package>

Are you really still using Sigil 0.3.2?? This has been fixed in later versions of Sigil (which is currently at 0.9.13, just for the record).

Change the following line in toc.ncx:
Code:
<meta name="dtb:uid" content="a0d8cc05-8c3c-48ce-ba5e-13722fae684f"/>
to:
Code:
<meta name="dtb:uid" content="urn:uuid:a0d8cc05-8c3c-48ce-ba5e-13722fae684f"/>
The content attribute in the ncx must now match, exactly, the unique identifier from the opf (including any prefixes).

Then do it for every book you edit from now on (or upgrade Sigil )

For the record: a change to the Pagina/EpubCheck rules is what caused this error. What Sigil was producing in this regard was perfectly valid for a long, long time. Unfortunately, we can't go back in time and fix all the older versions of Sigil to correct it.

If you are downloading Sigil from a third-party site, go instead to https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/releases
