Received the above error when accessing the modules page on a fresh installation. Hope this isn't a dupe, but I couldn't find it in a search. I'm using php 5.2.2 on Dreamhost. Server is running Debian Linux. Please let me know if you need more info.

I'm not so sure this is a dupe of the issue you reference. That issue is directly related to the Devel module. This happened before any modules were enabled. I do have devel installed now (minus the themer), but it was not installed upon my first access of the modules page. I am going to switch this back to active.

It's caused by one of your third-party modules (loaded or unloaded) having a malformed .info file

Instad of having "dependencies[] = ..." it has something like "dependencies = ..."

system.admin.inc is expecting an array and it isn't given one - that's what the problem is.

Could this be caused by having my 5.X module folders in the modules directory of 6.X? I put them there as reminders of all the modules that need to be ported to 6.X before I officially make the switch. My 5.x modules would obviously have the old style .info files.

pyutaros: yes that would cause it.

The attached patch address this issue by testing the dependencies to ensure it is in the form of an array. If not, an error is posting stating

"The module-name module appears to not have been upgraded to work with Drupal 6. Therefore, it is not possible to show dependencies for this module."

Optionally, a patch could be posted to explode the dependencies if they are still in the old style; however, if the .info file has not been updated then it is possible that the rest of the module wasn't either.

Drupal core doesn't support broken code.
