Bug Description

[ Impact ]

pure-ftpd will fail to upgrade from Bionic to Focal. It will give an error as below:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/pure-ftpd-common_1.0.49-4_all.deb (--unpack):
unable to open '/usr/share/doc/pure-ftpd-common/README.Authentication-Modules.gz.dpkg-new': No such file or directory
No apport report written because the error message indicates an issue on the local system
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/pure-ftpd-common_1.0.49-4_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

[ Test Plan ]

Complete test plan:
1. Use a Bionic system
2. Install pure-ftpd
3. Execute "do-release-upgrade" to upgrade the system to Focal.
4. Upgrade the system to Jammy to confirm next upgrade is not broken.

A quick test plan: I have made a PPA with pure-ftpd from Bionic but rebuilt for Focal.
1. Use a Focal system.
2. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sudipmuk/pure-ftpd
3. sudo apt update
4. sudo apt-get install pure-ftpd=1.0.46-1ubuntu18.04.1~ppa1 pure-ftpd-common=1.0.46-1ubuntu18.04.1~ppa1
5. sudo apt-get upgrade

With the fixed package, pure-ftpd will now upgrade to the version in Focal.

Redo the quick testplan for pure-ftpd-mysql, pure-ftpd-ldap, pure-ftpd-postgresql to confirm they do not have any regression. These binaries do not have this original issue.

[ Where problems could occur ]

It does not change any part of the code, only change is in the d/rules file which removes the symlink from /usr/share/doc/pure-ftpd* to pure-ftpd-common and instead uses dpkg-maintscript-helper scripts to manage the symlink. There should not be any regression in the software for this change.

[ Other Info ]

This has been fixed in Debian by pure-ftpd/1.0.49-4.1 and so Jammy onwards is not affected.

Hi Sudip, thanks for the debdiff. I have some suggestions:

* in the backport of the rules changes, there is a small out-of-order difference. I'm referring to the new dh_installdocs call being after dh_installchangelogs instead of before. I'm 99.9% certain that it doesn't matter, but it would be nice to make this precisely match what was done in 1.0.49-4.1, to reduce the odds of new problems and for ease of patch reviews.
* I believe the version number references in the four maintscript files needs to be corrected for the actual version being uploaded. They reference 1.0.49-4.1~ but I think that they need to be updated to 1.0.49-4ubuntu0.1~ .
* The test plan references pure-ftpd, but I presume the other packages listed in the maintscript updates are also affected. Would you update the testplan to reflect all the binary packages being changed? I suggest also amending the test plan to reflect that updates to the Jammy version of the pure-ftpd packages still work.

Removing ubuntu-sponsors for the moment, please re-subscribe ubuntu-sponsors when you want someone to look again. Thanks!

Tested locally in a focal container with the quick test plan and it does indeed fix the issue. The patch looks good too, sponsoring.

If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!
