Version requires old depmod, but couldn't run /sbin/depmod.old: No such file or dir

Version requires old depmod, but couldn't run /sbin/depmod.old: No such file or directory
make: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2
This error was preventing me from building some modules that were needed. There is a workaround for this error, so that in case you get this error then you can use this solution too. This is what I did, I copied the /sbin/depmod to /sbin/depmod.old, and then re-ran make, and it worked.

# which depmod
/sbin/depmod

# cp /sbin/depmod /sbin/depmod.old
# make
