Ouch! You make a clear case for just copying the .info/.patch files over to local when you want to play around with unstable.
You may not need to blow all of fink away. Try this: 1) Verify that bundle-gnome points to the stable version with "fink list bundle-gnome" 2) If so, try installing bundle-gnome. If not, then do another "fink selfupdate-cvs" to unconfuse things. 3) If there are any specific problems, check in on the list.
