'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.
