Re: Fink selfupdate not working

Unfortunately, something went wrong and this didn’ t work.  Since I already had the src directory, I skipped the first command.  Here is what
this directory looked like afterwards:

ls
dpkg1.16.zip  fink-dpkg1.16 fink-upstream

I then went to the fink-upstream directory and executed the inject command:

cd fink-upstream
sudo ./inject.pl
Password:
Creating fink tarball...

After many lines, here was the error message:

Modifying package description...
/bin/chmod 644 /opt/sw/fink/dists/local/injected/finkinfo/*.*
Installing package...

/opt/sw/bin/fink install fink-0.45.99.git-20230924.1504
13.6 does not match the expected value of 13.5. Please run `fink selfupdate` to download a newer version of fink at /opt/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 1449.
### execution of /opt/sw/bin/fink failed, exit code 29

Installing the new fink package failed. The description and the tarball were
installed, though. You can retry at a later time by issuing the appropriate
fink commands.

What do I do now?
