Rosetta and Rosetta 2 do not appear to be available. All attempts to execute the Intel code failed with the "zsh: bad CPU type in executable" message. Since I wasn't prompted to install Rosetta or Rosetta 2, I executed the following,
% softwareupdate --install-rosetta
which responded with
I have read and agree to the terms of the software license agreement. A list of Apple SLAs may be found here: http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/ Type A and press return to agree:
So, I typed the A and the return. The result was
2021-10-03 04:31:49.497 softwareupdate[1775:240889] Package Authoring Error: 071-97390: Package reference com.apple.pkg.RosettaUpdateAuto is missing install KBytes attribute Install of Rosetta 2 finished successfully
Although the message ended with "finished successfully", note the error disclosed. Furthermore, the behavior of my M1 Mac running Big Sur 11.6 did not change, i.e. my Intel-based Mac executables still failed to execute.
So, what can be done?
