/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/fink/info/ked/kdepim3.info file directly and mess it up.
Is there a quick and easy way to recover from this. Note, this is just a home machine that I'm using for "messing around" with so it isn't anything critical (just another case of me cutting corners).

Copy it (and its patch file) to your /sw/fink/dists/local/finkinfo directory to modify it.
I did not copy it, I just left it where it was and applied the changes to the original. I know that this is not best-practise. However, this file will be overwritten anyway with its next update, I guess. Right? Or may I run into problems later?
Greetings, Claus
Your assumption is correct--the file will be overwritten.
Nevertheless, I don't encourage doing modifications this way!
