Gnus misidentifies that Gnus v5.11 is older than No Gnus v0.2.
It is obviously incorrect, isn't it?  Here's a temporary measure:

*** gnus-start.el~      Wed Oct 20 05:13:28 2004
--- gnus-start.el       Wed Oct 20 23:07:19 2004

*** 2228,2233 ****
--- 2228,2236 ----
                  (gnus-continuum-version gnus-newsrc-file-version))))
      (when fcv
        ;; A newsrc file was loaded.
+       (when (= fcv 5.11)
+       ;; Gnus v5.11 is not older than No Gnus v0.2.
+       (setq fcv 5.110002))
        (let (prompt-displayed
              (converters
               (sort

Although it is only a temporary measure, cannot it be a lasting
measure only for Gnus v5.11?

In addition, isn't it necessary to install legacy-gnus-agent.el
also in the Emacs trunk?
