'depmod -ae' being related to the problem isn't at all likely.

As part of the normal boot process, 'depmod -a' is run (You'll see a line 
similar to "Finding module dependencies...	OK")
Adding the -e flag simply forces depmod to report any unresolved symbols.

Depmod simply finds module dependencies, and writes them to a file in the 
/lib/modules/ tree.
I don't know what the problem with the star office library might be, but 
I'm reasonably certain that depmod isn't modifying any libraries.
