I think the problem comes from the fact you did not stop INN before
playing with its active list.
Usually, the actsync program is used to keep the active file in sync
with ftp.isc.org; have a look at:

Does the contents of the active file look OK?

No; it would not give any error like this.

Julien,
Thanks so much for replying!
Any advice as to how I get INN to come back online? I swapped back the
old active and newsgroup files (while INN was stopped), but it appears
not to have helped.
Sincerely,

Any error logged in /var/log/news/news.crit or news.err or news.notice?
Maybe rebuilding the history file while INN is stopped?
In /var/lib/news (or the value of pathdb in inn.conf), run as the news user:
makehistory -O
makedbz -s `wc -l < history` -o

Julien,
Thanks again for replying!
No, no errors in any of /var/log/news/news.crit, .err, or.notice.
Remaking the history file appears not to have helped. All the files
in /var/lib/news/ appear to have a date and time stamp of today except
active.times; could that be the culprit?
Thanks again for your help!
Sincerely,

Are all of these files empty?
Incidentally, you said you "kill" INN. How do you do that?
Isn't the following command working to just "stop" INN?
sudo su news -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/lib/news/bin/rc.news stop"
> Remaking the history file appears not to have helped. All the files

active.times is not the culprit.
What is the result of:
inncheck -a --perm --pedantic

Julien,
Here is the result of the command: http://pastebin.com/vuLzH3nZ (There
were a bunch of owner persission error I fixed; I wasn't sure to what
number I should change the modes, so I didn't make any changes to them,
but I will).
Thanks again in advance!

I suggest to keep the permissions as they currently are.
It is a known issue in Debian/Ubuntu that has been fixed in the latest
2.6.0-1 package:
inn2 (2.6.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
[...]
* Fix inncheck --perm.
[...]
-- Marco d'Itri Thu, 31 Dec 2015 00:44:10 +0100
However, I really suggest to fix the following issue, that is probably
the reason for innd not to start:
/etc/news/newsfeeds:102: relative path for inpaths!
/etc/news/newsfeeds:102: `ninpaths' is not executable for inpaths!
/etc/news/newsfeeds:104: undefined multiplex `innfeed!'

Looks like nnrpd/tlc.s needs some minor rewrite.
/* We should check current keylength vs. requested keylength
* also, this is an extremely expensive operation! */
/*dh = DH_generate_parameters(keylength, DH_GENERATOR_2, NULL,
NULL);
r = dh;*/
Commented this out because DH_GENERATOR_2 is not defined
and
if (tls_serverengine)
return (0); /* Already running. */
if (tls_loglevel >= 2)
Printf("starting TLS engine");
SSL_load_error_strings();
OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms();
CTX = SSL_CTX_new(TLS_server_method());
if (CTX == NULL) {
return (-1);
};
alteration will be needed.
