It looks like mod_authz_host module
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_authz_host.html) is not
enabled.
There is a bug #669876 against apache2 complaining about the module, not
being enabled during upgrades, however the bug got closed with:
"Explicitly enable mod_authz_core on upgrades. It can happen that it is
not pulled in by any of the enabled modules, but we need it in any case
for apache2.conf. Closes: #669876"
