I was sure that was probably it, so because I had so many old packages
from 2015 in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/, I uninstalled everything as a separate
operation before proceeding, confirmed that my packages subdirectory was
clear, then installed the packages I mainly wanted fresh from the package
menu.

It still gives me the "invalid function: bbdb-pushnew" error, so I'm out
of ideas.  I've reverted to my old working backup of ~/.emacs.d/, so
everything works again, but it's odd that I can't upgrade.
