The consistency check was recently updated (Oct 21) to understand both 
macOS 12 and macOS11.6. If you go into the git source tree where you 
first got the Fink version that works on BigSur+, run these commands:

git pull --rebase
./inject.pl <PATH TO YOUR FINK TREE>

This will get you the latest commits to Fink, then update your working 
fink tool so it can use them.
