`gnus-kill-newsgroup' was removed from Gnus (or at least this Gnus
change was merged into Emacs master) in 2012, so it's been a while.

What version of Emacs are you using? You're not still loading an
external Gnus installation, are you?

You talk about changes, and "reapplying changes", what does that mean?

What seems most likely is that you've got some custom functions in
your.gnus.el or elsewhere that are still calling `gnus-kill-newsgroup'.
