Ah.
My mirror (a local cam.ac.uk one) seems to have
 	5rolling/testing/x86_64/54/gdm-2.16.0-56.el5.x86_64.rpm
and
 	5rolling/x86_64/SL/gdm-2.16.0-56.sl.x86_64.rpm

(plus testing/x86_64/54/gdm-2.16.0-56.el5.src.rpm).

I'll use 5rolling/x86_64/SL instead of 5rolling/testing/x86_64/54
sorry to have bothered you.
