Fink on macOS Big Sur(unsuccessful trial) Final one

(NOTE) I was obliged to send several mails of essentially the same content by the strong request of [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
i.e.,  Message body is too big: **** bytes with a limit of 35 KB.

Finally such rule has not been applied and all mails has been shown in the [Fink-beginners]mailing list.

How does fink-beginners-owner <mailto:[email protected]> think 35KB limit to be reasonable or call “too big size” ?? 


Anyway, please take the following original mail for the final mail, and other mails received shall be deleted as "junk mails" from your mail boxes and from Fink official site.

Hi all

1) According to https://www.finkproject.org/index.php?phpLang=en <https://www.finkproject.org/index.php?phpLang=en>
we do not have any "official fink releases" after macOS Big Sur, though it was noticed that it would be released soon.

2) Someone at github.com <http://github.com/> and others suggests that we shall take the next guided steps.  
I have tried it, but unsuccessful. It would be helpful to teach me how to cope with it.

Before reporting any errors, please run "fink selfupdate" and try again.
Also try using "fink configure" to set your maximum build jobs to 1 and
attempt to build the package again.
If you continue to have issues, please check to see if the FAQ on Fink's 
website solves the problem.  If not, ask on one (not both, please) of
these mailing lists:

	The Fink Users List <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>
	The Fink Beginners List <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>.

Please try to include the complete error message in your report.  This
generally consists of a compiler line starting with e.g. "gcc" or "g++"
followed by the actual error output from the compiler.

Also include the following system information:
Package manager version: 0.45.99.git
Distribution version: selfupdate-point (bootstrap), 11.3, x86_64
