Yes, I do.

I have another (old) Centos 7 here running inside Vbox.
It have never had the vbox repo added.
I just tried that, and run yum makecache again.
It gives the same error - so I still believe, something is wrong :-)

Looking at the error:

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el/7/x86_64/repodata/primary.xml.gz:
[Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum

made me look for a checksum somewhere.
it looks like it is in repomd.xml file
but I haven't yet figured out, how I can check
these.
