I've been digging a bit, and the issue comes from the the DAV module
indeed:

```
[Mon Oct 30 12:36:19.776149 2023] [dav_fs:crit] [pid 275752] (20019)DSO load failed: AH00576: The DBM driver could not be loaded

[Mon Oct 30 12:36:19.776174 2023] [dav:error] [pid 275752] [client 127.0.0.1:51388] The locks could not be queried for verification against a possible "If:" header.  [500, #0]

[Mon Oct 30 12:36:19.776181 2023] [dav:error] [pid 275752] (20019)DSO load failed: [client 127.0.0.1:51388] Could not open property database.  [500, #1]
```

This seems to be a known limitation in Alpine Linux as they do not
package apr-util-dbm_db anymore due to license incompatibilities with
with Berkely DB [1], and the WebDAV module does rely on it to provide
locking.

In the best case we'd be able to detect this limitation and skip those
tests automatically so that we can at least execute all the other Apache
tests. But again, this rather feels like something we should do as a
follow up rather than as part of this series.
