Hi, Jaume.

I have never installed kernel the "Debian way", but anyway this message 
looks strange to me. Maybe you changed permissions on that file somehow. 
Or it is damaged. Open terminal, su to root and type

chown root:root /lib/modules/2.6.18-jaume/modules.dep
chmod 644 /lib/modules/2.6.18-jaume/modules.dep
depmod -a
