I temporary disabled the Oracle patch site for now in r47109 [1], so
installations will not be blocked any more when fetching from the
"wrong" server. MacPorts will automatically download from a distfiles
mirror instead.

If you already fetched the wrong checksummed patch, use this:
  sudo port -f clean db46
  sudo port install db46

Force (-f) is necessary to also delete the patches as the dist_subdir is
shared among the db4x ports.
