Excellent news! The code was updated about a month ago to know about 
macOS 26 and be able to bootstrap a fresh install, but I knew there 
would be an issue with upgrading due to a longstanding bug you edited 
around.

Was your install from a recently updated git pull ? I'm surprised that 
it says "Distribution: 15.0" since the most recent code says macOS 26 
should be "Distribution: 26.0":
https://github.com/fink/fink/commit/e28fd03431cac3bb4e47b84d2a515d9f70d4b6b3#diff-644b9c15e75bc3c878645dc3706446a499fe409d22d95652aa07e5f0408ff635

As another diagnostic, what does `fink list macosx` say? For example, on 
10.14.6, I get (along with tetex-macosx which is irrelevant here):

  i   macosx                      10.14.6-1             [virtual package 
representing the system]
