OK you probably have an old version of depmod. depmod is provided by module-init-tools, what version of module-init-tools do you have?

If this is an old depmod thing we will have to check the version of depmod and do this for that case. > How depmod works with config files in /etc/depmod.d directory is a mystery > for me. Its not that tricky, the new version reads /etc/depmod.conf and if that is not found then moves on to check /etc/depmod.d/* files. > I wasn't able to learn > this from manual pages.

Right, built-in will use /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/ for modules, chances are if no depmod.conf file or depmod.d dir is present default may be to use built-in. > As soon as one of them (either global or one of those in > /etc/depmod.d directory) contains search command, > then depmod uses this one.

I believe this is built-in by default, then read depmod.conf first, if that is not present read depmod.d dir.
