In this particular case, you don't really need the depmod command, since cpint doesn't have any dependencies on other kernel modules. In general, it's good practice to run the depmod command after making any changes in the /lib/modules hierarchy. What it does is examine each module, figure out what external references it has, and what other kernel modules provide those. This is what allows you to do a "modprobe modname" without worrying about the order in which other modules need to be loaded.

I have not issued the depmod command yet. I am trying to understand why I need it.
