You don't want epel-debug or epel-source so don't edit the file.

Selinux will block the permission change. To edit you must use sudo or become root with su.

If rpm says kdepim is installed, run rpm -qi kdepim for info. Should get same same data from yum info kdepim.

If you still don't see it, try yum search pim
