Typing in a terminal window
 dpkg -S /lib/modules 
tells you which packages are using /lib/modules.

Together with the command above
 apt-get --reinstall install  the_packages_you_want_to_install_seperated_by_spaces
is a bit faster as you don't have to search for the packages like in
synaptic but just need to copy&paste the package names.
