But I get the following…
% sudo ./inject.pl /opt/sw

Installing the new fink package failed. The description and the tarball were installed, though. You can retry at a later time by issuing the appropriate fink commands.

So it seems that the problem will not inject the fixed version without first tweaking the Services.pm file to not die?  If I mod the Services.pm file to not die, I get the following (warning still prints)
/opt/sw/bin/fink install fink-0.45.99.git-20211102.1435
11.6 does not match the expected value of 11.5. Please run `fink selfupdate` to download a newer version of fink

Which implies that it can’t find the package to install. Is that the correct package name.  I do have an injected deb file, but it is listed as 202110906.1726 and not the one specified by the inject?

The Services.pm in my copy of fink for installation is up to date with origin/dpkg1.16.  The Services.pm file seems to have 11.5, 11.6 and 12 handlers for the OS Version.  But that doesn’t seem to become part of my installation with the inject command.
