Interesting - I've no idea why this is so! While you are waiting for
someone with a Clue to answer .... try unsubscribing the group and then
subscribing again. (For some reason your new Gnus is not finding the
group, so give it a reason to look again!)

The error-message would certainly help.

That is easy enough to do. Unpack the tarball into either $HOME/elisp or
somewhere in /usr/local (so that it will not interfere with Debian's
package management). Do the "./configure ; make" routine but don't do
"make install" - just add the relevant directories to your emacs
load-path _early_ (ie before you do anything else about Gnus!) in your
.emacs
eg
8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
;; for the latest greatest gnus.
(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/elisp/gnus/lisp") load-path))
(require 'gnus-load)
(require 'info)
(setq Info-directory-list
(cons "~/elisp/gnus/texi" Info-directory-list))
8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
