Thanks for the suggestions.  I have tried this procedure, but
liferea_1.6 wouldn't start until I deleted the .liferea_1.4 folder I'd
copied into /home.  As you imply, it's hard to be sure that all the bits
of 1.6 have been removed (and you can't trust <sudo aptitude remove
--purge liferea> to get everything).  The difference between your
situation and mine, of course, is that I've got a clean install to deal
with.

I'll have another go.  But if anyone else has advice, I'd be very grateful.
