Fink-0.45.3 does not work against Big Sur. You'll need to download the 
git version of Fink for this. Our current development code works on Big 
Sur, but not on M1 machines (but it looks like you have an intel model 
(i386) so you should be OK). Run these commands in Terminal.app:

mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
git clone https://github.com/TheSin-/fink
cd fink
git checkout dpkg1.16
./bootstrap
