Which version of Inkscape are you using, and what format did you save as? Was this a newly created file, or have you edited an older one?
Historically Inkscape is a fork of the Sodipodi project (the split happened a long, long time ago). If you're using a recent version of Inkscape then the comment in the file (the bit between <!-- and -->) should definitely be fixed.
The namespace (xmlns:sodipodi=...) is correct, however. The value in there is technically a URI (uniform resource identifier), not a URL (uniform resource location). In other words it's just a unique string that identifies the 'language' used for some of the proprietary values in the file, but there does not necessarily have to be a file present at the address. In this case it identifies some of the values as being in the 'sodipodi' namespace, because they are things that have been in Inkscape files for a long time - since before the split from Sodipodi.
I am pretty sure there is an error here, but I am not sure how to explain it or if there is any relevance....
Capture 1 is where the files are located on my computer
Capture 2 shows the reference link
Capture 3 shows.....welll the link.....uhmmm....its has NOTHING do do with coding.
Capture 4 shows that the link no longer exhisists.
The same issue is with with the "Tux" svg on the file not working.
Well, that's unfortunate.
Would you care to report this to the Devs? https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/issues
grrr...I will as reqeusted, because I appreciate INKSCAPE so much...but damn is it exhausting trying to find where to go to report an issue :)
Thank you for reporting. I realize it's a chore, but it's a way we can all contribute to the Inkscape project.

The bad link has been removed from future releases. The namespace is an upstream issue and not a significant concern.
