Unfortunately, there's a bug[1] in the fink update code that's causing a 
deadlock (the installed Fink that doesn't know about 14.7 needs to know 
about 14.7 in order fetch the version that runs on 14.7. oops). The 
current workaround is to manually copy a patched version of the buggy 
file into /opt/sw2, then selfupdate should work and get you going.

Download this file:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fink/fink/refs/heads/master/perlmod/Fink/Services.pm

And save it to /opt/sw2/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm

`fink selfupdate` should work again
