Well, now that it can get past loading the files for selfupdate and
actually tries to compile packages, it's not doing so well.  I trusted the
"you should now have a working version in /opt/sw" line without reading too
much above it.  Sorry for the bad info.

It looks pretty good (only warnings) except for bfd fails two different
places, just before the end of phase 2 and just before the end of phase:

*** BFD does not support target arm-apple-darwin20.4.0.

*** Look in bfd/config.bfd for supported targets.

### execution of /tmp/fink.XVmOJ failed, exit code 1

phase compiling: objtools-2.22-4 failed


Then it tries to update list of locally available stuff and can't find
dpkg-deb


Then it goes on to Phase3 and does a lot of stuff that seems to work, but
then BFD has the same error


then it says bootstrap done and cleans up, but still can't use dpkg-deb.
and tells me I should now have a working version of fink in /opt/sw


I put the whole level 2 screen output into a file, if there's anything
there you don't already have from someone else, I can get you a copy.  If
you've got things for me to try, let me know, I'm happy to help.

here's the commands you asked for:

uname -a

Darwin <hostname> 20.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 20.4.0: Thu Apr 22 21:46:41
PDT 2021; root:xnu-7195.101.2~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8101 arm64

admin@<host> fink % file /opt/sw/bin/dpkg

/opt/sw/bin/dpkg: cannot open `/opt/sw/bin/dpkg' (No such file or directory)


so here's what I get with fink selfupdate now:

[...]
