Well “fink reinstall fink” which one does for an upgrade will overwrite that Services.pm file that is the issue.

Cheap fix, edit Services.pm and change the line 1370 from
die “<message>” ;
to
print(“<message>\n”) ;

Correct fix from Hanspeter:
Get the uptodate GitHub dpkg1.16 branch that works on Big Sur/Monterey.
Issue command
./inject.pl /opt/sw

This should make fink on the correct version for Big Sur/Monterey.   But I haven’t gotten it to work for me.  My setup may be hosed.
