Facing a strange issue!
On listing apache modules on minion by executing following command from salt-master,
# salt 'target' apache.modules
on minion, salt-minion service enters "reloading" state.
# systemctl status salt-minion
● salt-minion.service - The Salt Minion
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/salt-minion.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: reloading (reload) since Wed 2021-09-29 00:48:29 PDT; 2 weeks 2 days ago

Main PID: 3582 (salt-minion)
Status: "Reading configuration..."
Few details:
- Important to note that previously it was Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) and this issue started after upgrading to Apache/2.4.48 (IUS)
- salt-master and salt-minion both the versions are 3003.1
- It is Centos 7 VM
- service remains in "reloading" state until restarted
- minion logs does not log anything on change of service state
