Re: po4a again....

Everyone will have the po4a-XXX.info files for all distributions. Fink 
just uses the one that matches the Distribution set in %p/etc/fink.conf

If `fink dumpinfo -finfofile` is showing po4a-11.0.info when running 
macOS11.4, then fink is confused about your system.

1) What does `fink dumpinfo -fallversions po4a` show? This will list all 
the versions that are available or installed on your system. Because 
each .info file for po4a for each distribution has a different Revision: 
value, you can tell what fink has and sees. po4a-11.0 has %r=401. 
po4a-11.3 has %r=501. Make sure you `fink selfupdate` first, because I 
just fixed something.
2) Look at the file `/opt/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Bootstrap.pm`. Around line 
272, it lists the darwin versions that get linked to `Dist: 11.3`. It 
should say "i386-apple-darwin20\.[4-6]".
3) To confirm, what does `uname -a` output? I think 11.4 should output 
darwin20.5.

You might need to run `fink reinstall fink` to get your Fink to realize 
that you're on 11.4. In %p/etc/fink.conf, the Distribution field should 
show 11.3 for any current macOS11 >= 11.3.
