public-yum ol6_latest Metadata file does not match checksum
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
