"User-Agent: Gnus/5.110004 (No Gnus v0.4) Emacs/21.4 (gnu/linux)" 

Yes - you have No Gnus v0.4 installed somewhere on your system.  That is
not, of itself, bad news :-) 

Ubuntu must install this somewhere for you, but I've no idea where, not
being an Ubuntu/Debian user. Distant memories of using Debian suggest
there may be a site-lisp directory somewhere .....  Try 'locate gnus' ?

Good luck ...
