Executing "dpkg -S modules.dep" in a terminal will tell you which
packages the file modules.dep is in, with the full path. Reinstalling
the package ("aptitude reinstall <package>" without the brackets) should
bring the file back.

It seems some packages in our repository got upgraded when they
shouldn't have. We're looking into the issue.

There's a hard dependency between yeeloong-base and
linux-image-2.6.31.26-libre1-lemote. I recommend that you leave both
packages installed. You can additionally install a newer Linux-libre
version, like 2.6.36.1, without any problems. Currently the Linux-libre
packages don't upgrade automatically, so you have to periodically check
for newer versions if you want them. Sometimes we upgrade the dependency
in yeeloong-base and then you do automatically get the upgrade.
