Re: Big Sur

Batshua,

Well here is a terrible hack, that I don’t recommend.  But…..

Edit the file "/opt/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm”

On line 1370 change the line from
die "$sw_vers does not match the expected value of $darwin_osx. Please run `fink selfupdate` to download a newer version of fink";

To
print( "$sw_vers does not match the expected value of $darwin_osx. Please run `fink selfupdate` to download a newer version of fink","\n");

This changes the fatal error to a warning.  It is difficult and unusual for your Darwin version to get out of whack with your MacOS version so it is not a terrible loss.

As soon as the wizards come up with a fix for this oddness of having multiple MacOS versions have the same Darwin version, do a reinstall fink.
