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. -- Dr. Andrew C.
