Has anyone else come across fixlets that work fine initially (such as during testing) and then fail later on and the error states that the is a difference in the SHA1 value during download?
If so, how have you resolved this problem?
Thanks,

Is this failure happening in the console/server or at the agent level?
It is occurring on the console.
A common issue is not being able to reach the site which means that the “download” is an HTTP 404 error page or something like that. So I’m not sure how it downloads but if you try from the server to reach the URL that is trying to download are you able to hit that location? You can see the URL in the prefetch command in the action.
Could be a proxy or other issue?
I was trying to apply a group of patches with a baseline, and the first few downloaded/installed without a problem.
This is the 2nd patch that I am having a problem with. The first, I downloaded from Oracle, used digest to get the sha1 and sha256 values, and ls to get the size, modified the fixlet and that patch installed after that. Is it common that Oracle modifies the patches after they post them?
It is not uncommon for a patch to get updated by the vendor causing the sha1 and size to change, especially for very recent patches. Our patch engineering team should catch this and update the fixlet, though it may not be as fast as you when you’re actively testing. When you see this, feel free to open a PMR and report the specific fixlet(s) affected so we can make sure they are updated. Your fix to check the size and sha of the new file is the right approach for immediate resolution.
I am seeing the same issue. I have just started with the Solaris patching and randomly picked the “148336-02: SunOS 5.10: awk patch”. when deploying I see the following message in the console:
Download error: "Error processing completed download: Requested sha1 238dd06b50e24202c01200b3f9d667c2f770d230 does not match actual sha1 dfb9aef3774a8c9397c53bf5f43d557dd3c30233"
