Thanx for the suggestion!
I do not have the /usr/lib/backuppc/cgi-bin/ folder. All that I have in
/var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC/ is:
-r-sr-xr-x 1 backuppc backuppc 3971 2022-11-03 10:38 BackupPC_Admin
with the parent folders all owned by root.
This reinforces my fear that the latest install may not have run properly and
that there are other problems lurking. I expect that index.cgi should have been
created by configure.perl, but don't understand why it wasn't. What's involved
in creating it post-hoc?

And is your index.cgi setuid to backuppc, like this?
$ ls -l /usr/lib/backuppc/cgi-bin/
total 16
-rwsr-x--- 1 backuppc www-data 14488 Mar 7 2022 index.cgi*
