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

Title:
[SRU] package pure-ftpd-common 1.0.49-4 failed to install/upgrade:
unable to open '/usr/share/doc/pure-ftpd-common/README.Authentication-
Modules.gz.dpkg-new': No such file or directory
Status in pure-ftpd package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in pure-ftpd source package in Focal:
Confirmed
Status in pure-ftpd package in Debian:
Fix Released
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.
