Fink Self-Update fails???

Fink just went through a self-update and updated a bunch of stufff and especially fink itself.  But now when I try to do a self update I get an error about an undefined value.

% fink -y self-update

I will now run the git command to retrieve the latest package descriptions. The 'su' command will be used to run the git command as the user 'sth'. After that, the core packages will be updated right away; you should then
update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'.

/usr/bin/su sth -c '/usr/bin/git fetch  origin'
/usr/bin/su sth -c '/usr/bin/git checkout  master'
Already on 'master'
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
/usr/bin/su sth -c '/usr/bin/git merge --ff-only  origin/master'
Already up to date.

There seems to be two problems.
	no package found for “fink"

And then the method
	Failed: Can't call method "is_installed" on an undefined value at /opt/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/SelfUpdate.pm line 288.


The system seems to be correct.  There is no fink.info <http://fink.info/> package.

The fink.info <http://fink.info/> package is in the injected tree since that is where it goes when installing on Big Sur.
