It will continue to work if you pin the local docker registry to
registry:2.7.0
instead of picking up the latest version 2 by just using registry:2 which is sadly broken
for details see https://github.com/docker/distribution-library-image/commit/ab00e8dae12d4515ed259015eab771ec92e92dd4 (they removed package apache2-utils) and https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib/pull/2538/commits/f816c837e34eb389c2cdee1bc9a2918c5d2e33e3 and https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib/pull/2539 as referenced in https://github.com/docker/distribution-library-image/issues/106
alternatively, instead of executing htpasswd from inside registry:2 you can install binary htpasswd using
apt-get install apache2-utils # thankfully this is NOT the apache server
and use syntax
htpasswd -Bbn myuser mypwd > /my/registry2/reg/hub/auth/htpasswd
on Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04
PS here are all files which come from package apache2-utils … just some utilities not any server
dpkg -L apache2-utils
/.

for good measure I booked docker a ticket on this https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/issues/11060
