OK, I had time to look into this more ...
It is a "load path" issue. Here is the value of my default
'load-path' (sorry for the length!):

"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/calendar")
Once I added "/usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/gnus" to the front, I was
able to use the 5.9.0 version of 'gnus'. (Note a copy of that path
*is* in the fifth-to-the-last entry above).
Some questions:
o Where is 'load-path' initialized?
o Should the "/usr/share/emacs21/*" entries precede the
"/usr/share/emacs/21.4/*" ones?
o Both "/etc/emacs" and "/etc/emacs21" exist ... is that correct?
o Might the problem have something to do with the contents of
/etc/{emacs,emacs21}/* ?
o Am I using older versions of *other* things, too (e.g., 'eshell')?
Finally, here are all relevant installed Dapper packages:
emacs-goodies-el/dapper uptodate 26.4-1
emacs21/dapper uptodate 21.4a-3ubuntu2
emacs21-bin-common/dapper uptodate 21.4a-3ubuntu2
emacs21-common/dapper uptodate 21.4a-3ubuntu2
emacs21-el/dapper uptodate 21.4a-3ubuntu2
emacsen-common/dapper uptodate 1.4.17
Thanks for the help!
