I tracked down the problem and find out that
(file-exists-p (gnus-agent-lib-file "active"))
in GNUS-AGENT-EXPIRE-GROUP returns NIL. Where
(gnus-agent-lib-file "active")
returns "/home/vy/gnus/news/agent/nnml/mailspool/agent.lib/active". I
suspect the problem is caused by my non-default gnus directory
configuration:
(setq gnus-directory "~/gnus/news"
nnml-directory "~/gnus/mail"
mail-source-directory "~/gnus/mail-source"
message-directory "~/gnus/mail")
Moreover,
$ find ~/gnus -name "active"
/home/vy/gnus/mail/active
/home/vy/gnus/news/cache/active
Does that ring bells for someone? Any ideas how can I fix the problem?
Why there doesn't exist such an "active" file?

Um... I still need help for those as well.
Regards.
