That'll make intltool40 available on 11.3+, but there are still missing perlmod dependencies that must also have perl-5.30.2 versions enabled.

If you go into the directory where you did the original `./bootstrap` to install my patched tree, run `git pull` to get the latest patches, then run `./inject.pl` to update your installed Fink in /opt/sw3. Once that's done, Fink should know to look for perl5.30 (and not perl5.30.2) with macOS 11.3.

Getting it merged is being worked on, but there's one major bug left 
over before it can go into master. Unfortunately, if you have a previous 
(non dpkg1.16) Fink install and update to the current dpkg1.16 branch, 
the dpkg database gets corrupted and Fink ceases to work.

A clean install of a new Fink using the dpkg1.16 branch (what you've 
checked out) works perfectly fine. The only failure point (that we know 
of) is during an upgrade, but that's critical.
