To get Fink working on Big Sur, run the following commands mkdir ~/src (or where ever you like to cd ~/src git clone https://github.com/TheSin-/fink fink-thesin cd fink-thesin git checkout dpkg1.16 ./inject.pl This will download the test version of Fink that works on Big Sur, (the dpkg1.16 branch), then inject a new copy of that branch into your Fink directory.
