Epub validation error

Hi all and I really need some help, please?

I work on a Mac.

I have been successfully getting correct epub validation through Draft to Digital for a few yewars now, but now that's stopped. I have been having a lot of problems with an Indesign file and getting the attached errors.

I have been using eCanCrusher to expand my epub to elimate the 'encription' file (which use to cause errors in the past) then I would validate it, and it's good to go. Now, after that process, and even without it, I'm getting the attached errors. Can someone please provide some advice?

I don't know how to fix the 'Missing: 6' warning

and

The long list of 'href' errors I believe is related to incorrect hyperlinks? I have redone them =several times and there is no change. 

I have also created a new fresh Indesign Document and tried again, but the same thing happens.

Is th eonly answer to start xcompletely again from scratch and rebuild the Indesign file from raw text, and try that?


Many thanks.
