Where can I see which ubuntu release ships the fixed version of a program affected by a bug?

Solution 1:

Because you are wearing a pair of end user glasses ;) – here is an answer including images…

Your mentioned bug has a fix and the fix is released. However, it is not yet clear in which Ubuntu release it will be included.

And the comment #43 is also interesting (Thanks @muru).

> Why is this marked as "Fix Released? This is still broken.

Fix released means fixed in the development series, not necessarily in released versions of Ubuntu.

An other example is bug 1264554 in the same package. As you can see in the screenshot, the fix for the bug was released for Trusty.

What does that tell us?

As long as you can't see this nice icon with the name of the Ubuntu release

the bug isn't fixed.
