>From the depmod man page:
BUGS
depmod [ -V | --version ] should exit immediately. Instead, it prints
the version information and behaves as if no options were given.
A recent change to the ver_linux script replaced "rmmod" with "depmod",
to determine module-init-tools version, but the output looks like this:
[snip]
mount 2.11n
module-init-tools file
e2fsprogs 1.28
[snip]
The following patch adds a "| grep version" filter to the depmod -V output.
[snip]
mount 2.11n
module-init-tools 2.4.22
e2fsprogs 1.28
[snip]
