Re: any way around this?

I haven’t had any luck with either of these.

I ran this command:  amesCoyleiMac:fink-0.45.3 jimcoyle$ git pull https://github.com/fink/fink —rebase

Then I ran the ./inject.pl command with the current location of fink and got this result:

bin/chmod 644 /opt/sw/fink/dists/local/injected/finkinfo/*.*
Installing package...

Use of uninitialized value $packagerevision in concatenation (.) or string at /Users/jimcoyle/Desktop/fink-0.45.3/perlmod/Fink/Bootstrap.pm line 362.
/opt/sw/bin/fink install fink--
12.0 does not match the expected value of . Please run `fink selfupdate` to download a newer version of fink
Scanning package description files..........
No version number for package fink in

I thought perhaps the command had injected the consistency check, so again I ran fink selfupdate with this result:

fink selfupdate
12.0 does not match the expected value of . Please run `fink selfupdate` to download a newer version of fink
/usr/bin/rsync -az -q  rsync://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo//TIMESTAMP /opt/sw/fink/TIMESTAMP.tmp
I will now run the rsync command to retrieve the latest package descriptions. 
/usr/bin/rsync -rtz --delete-after --delete -q   --include='10.9-libcxx/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/main/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/*/' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/*' --include='10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/**/*' --include='VERSION' --include='DISTRIBUTION' --include='README' --exclude='**' 'rsync://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo' '/opt/sw/fink/'

WARNING! This version of Perl (5.030003) is not currently supported by Fink. 
Updating anyway, but you may encounter problems.
Can't resolve dependency "system-perl5302" for package "texinfo-6.8-501" (no
matching packages/versions found)
Exiting with failure.

Is the Perl version the real culprit here or did I issue the commands incorrectly?  Again, I’m using Monterey, not Big Sur.

Thanks for any assistance
