To those asking for a workaround:

The situation which triggers this crash is a corrupt or invalid module in
/lib/modules. Naturally, depmod should not crash, even in this case, and
that is the bug which is now believed to be fixed in Karmic.

In order to work around the problem, it's necessary to remove or replace the
invalid module. I don't have a step-by-step recipe to hand for this at the
moment, so if you don't know how to do this, just sit tight until someone
posts one. If a workaround is available, it should be added to the bug
description at the top so that it's immediately visible to everyone.
