As far as I can tell from the bug index (the bugs themselves
have expired), dbm in Apache is obselete and has been removed.
Despite this, the package still provides mod_auth_dbm.info, .html,
and the dbmmanage script. Also, there is no indication on
www.apache.org that mod_auth_dbm is obselete, and the page
for it is marked Apache 1.3.

I have converted our dbm files to GNU db with a perl script I wrote
and it now works fine. The dbm situation is confusing though.
