modprobe: cannot parse modules.dep error

[Saravanan Chanemouganandam]

Hello vda,

I have found the previous post of the problem with "iptables" and netfilter 
tables built into the kernel which is exactly the same problem of mine.

Here is the posts but theres no answer to solve the problem.

http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter/2007-June/068974.html

any idea to solve the issue.

Thanks
Sara
