Bug#224259: apache: user not found in Basic authentication
Hello,
checked again modules.conf, and it was different from this, as the apache
upgrade script has inserted db, dbm, sys and anon authentication modules,
which I missed first. Removing them solves my problem. How can I prevent
modules-config from inserting them again on apache upgrades?
