depmod problem

[Gabor HALASZ]

Hi!

In 1.13.2 (with depmod and modprobe patches from fixes dir) I discovered 
the depmod -a erases the modules.dep, modules.alias and modules.symbols 
files. I straced the applet and found this at the end of trace:


lstat64("lib/modules/2.4.32-p4-smp/modules.ieee1394map",

open("modules.symbols", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE, 0666)      = 1
exit_group(0)                                                 = ?

Any idea? Thanks
