Ah, I've tried setting gnus-read-newsrc-file again and Gnus is now
loading :) I thought I'd
already tried this, after reading the "Startup Files" section of the
manual, but I probably
copy/pasted the wrong variable name and set gnus-save-newsrc-file to
nil instead!
Many thanks for helping me get up and running! I'm happy to experiment
and find the cause
if anyone cares. Otherwise I'll just add it to the long list of things
I've had to fix after an
Ubuntu upgrade (PulseAudio, Perl, MySQL, apt, ....!)
Thanks!
Chris
