There's a deadlock in the update process. To work around it:

1) make sure your git checkout is up to date: run `git pull` in the 
fink-upstream directory.
2) Edit the file /opt/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm and change the line 
around #1446 in that file to match the what's at this link:

https://github.com/fink/fink/blob/0956959c97f64b28111ad7e2e1d05b7491af496d/perlmod/Fink/Services.pm#L1447

(basically, update the long set of comparisons in your installed Fink).

3) in the fink-upstream directory, re-run ./inject.pl
