Loaded PCRE do not match with compiled! on vanilla Ubuntu Server with apache and modsecurity installed via packages

On a fresh and clean installation of Ubuntu Server 16.04.2 (downloaded on 12, Jun. 2017). I installed apache with modsecurity from the repositories
by

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-security2

Restarting apache

sudo service apache2 restart

Now the error.log of apache shows:

[Mon Jun 12 09:19:54.000356 2017] [:notice] [pid 25603:tid 140553349252992] ModSecurity for Apache/2.9.0 (http://www.modsecurity.org/) configured.

So from my understanding modsecurity and apache from the repositories are incompatible.

I would expect this to work out of the box.
from: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Apache/mod_security/ the installation looked very straight forward.

Please let me know if I need to supply more information. It's a first for me.
