Update: public-yum is working today and manual checksum is matching as well.

---

I am trying to apply the latest Oracle Linux 6 patches to a fresh 6.4 install from the public-yum.  I am able to successfully apply the latest Oracle Linux 6 UEK from the ol6_UEK_latest repository on public-yum.  I am unable to access the ol6_latest repository on public-yum because I receive a "Metadata file does not match checksum" error.  I have attempted to manually verify the checksum and receive a mismatch as well.  See below for more details.

Thanks,

Erick
