[Fink-beginners] fink self update function not working in Mac OS 10.12

[Albert R. <a.r...@ya...>]

I tried reinstalling/updating fink in Mac OS Sierra, but selfupdate function is returning an error.

fink selfupdate
Password:
/usr/bin/rsync -az -q  rsync://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo//TIMESTAMP /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='10.12/' --include='10.12/stable/' --include='10.12/stable/main/' --include='10.12/stable/main/finkinfo/' --include='10.12/stable/main/finkinfo/*/' --include='10.12/stable/main/finkinfo/*' --include='10.12/stable/main/finkinfo/**/*' --include='VERSION' --include='DISTRIBUTION' --include='README' --exclude='**' 'rsync://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/finkinfo' '/sw/fink/'
