The problem seems to be that emacs21.4a-3 does not make the
bbdb-autoloads.el .. this is similar to bug #345297
My very rough fix for this bug (and possibly 344032 and 345297))
apt-get install --reinstall emacs21
wait for the 'compiling bbdb, this takes loooonngg' message, and then
(quickly) wget http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/bbdb-autoloads.el
and place this file in /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/bbdb
if I did that in time, there are no errors reported on bbdb (check
the compile log in tmp/)
That was not quite it: I also had to add the following three
lines to my start up files, to get gnus and bbdb back to their brilliant
work.
