This assumes you already have an existing Fink install that broke after 
you installed the 14.0 beta. It also assumes that your git clone of the 
Fink source code is from https://github.com/fink/fink and not some other 
fork (like TheSin-).

1) Download the Sonomapatch.patch file from that comment I linked to.
2) change directory in Terminal to the fink clone from github.com
3) run `git pull` to make sure you have the latest commits
4) patch the source code with this command
	patch -p1 < [location of Sonomapatch.patch file]
5) run `./inject.pl` to update your Fink install to use this latest 
patched code.

The installed fink should then know about the Sonoma beta versioning and 
not give you those "13.-1" errors.
