Gnus broken after updating some Xemacs packages -- Help 8-[]

[Arcady Genkin <a.genkin@utoronto.ca>]

Hi, all

As the subject says, I've upgraded some xemacs packages (I never paid
attention, which ;^( ), and after that pgnus 0.95 stopped working.

I thought I'd recompile it, but that didn't help. I then compiled 5.6.45
and it refused working too. Then I let xemacs install 5.6.45 as a package,
and that didn't help either.

Gnus would start, but on any attempt to enter a group, or start a new
message, it would say:

symbol's function definition is  void: mc-install-read-mode  
symbol's function definition is void: mc-install-write-mode

What's funny is that it actually enters the group on the second attempt
so I am able to read messages. However, I haven't found a way to 
compose a message.

Oh, yeah, FWIW, when I compiled pgnus this last time, I saw these messages:
