Bug Description

Binary package hint: libapache2-svn

Loading two fundamentally different modules with a single .load file making system administration a hassle.
Please fix it, providing a separate loader for mod_authz_svn.

$ cat /etc/apache2/mods-available/authz_svn.load
# Depends: dav_svn
LoadModule authz_svn_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authz_svn.so

Ok, issue iwh this proposal, is that Apache is not smart enough to postpone modules loading until requested api become available.

Solution is, either, rename .load file, or include necessary prerequisites into it...
The latter, I think, the better. Thus, authz_svn.load:

# Depends: dav_svn
Include mods-enabled/dav.load
Include mods-enabled/dav_fs.load
Include mods-enabled/dav_svn.load

LoadModule authz_svn_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authz_svn.so

This was fixed in Debian in 1.6.17dfsg-2. That was synced to Ubuntu in Precise (12.04).
