There is a hack to run Fink with Rosetta on M1 processors
	Copy Terminal.app to ~/Applications and rename Terminal-Rosetta.app
	Get info on Terminal-Rosetta
	Check box to “Open with Rosetta”
	Use this version of Terminal to install and run Fink and installed files.

This is completely unnecessary for an Intel based system.

You are also running a beta OS I don’t believe that 11.6 is out yet and I am not sure that Fink is modified for this version.  And it will be a mess if they updated the version of Perl with this minor release.
