The most recent commit to the git fink repo fixed a typo that kept corrupting my Services.pm. I just did a pull and an ./inject.pl and it's working again on one computer. I can't get it to install on my other computer because of missing language files or something. I'm kind of out of practice, but I'd suggest trying to pull and inject again.
