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

  • 772

This bug is marked "fixed released":

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.4/+bug/1290847

Where can I see which Ubuntu release ships the fixed version?

PS: I would like to avoid reading the long floating text. Is there no database entry for this?

Update: I am wearing end user glasses. I don't care about the package version with the fix. I care about the ubuntu release with the fix.

launchpad

  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.

  2. I took this question to be, how do I find, which releases contain a certain version of a package.

    You can find a lot of information by looking at the ubuntu packages site. I just searched for the package 'python3' in all versions of ubuntu:- http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&keywords=python3&searchon=names

    It came up with this:- Package python3

    • precise (12.04LTS) (python): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default python3 version) 3.2.3-0ubuntu1: all
    • precise-updates (python): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default python3 version) 3.2.3-0ubuntu1.2: amd64 i386
    • trusty (14.04LTS) (python): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default python3 version) 3.4.0-0ubuntu2: amd64 i386
    • utopic (python): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default python3 version) 3.4.2-1: amd64 i386
    • vivid (python): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default python3 version) 3.4.3-1: amd64 i386
    • wily (python): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default python3 version) 3.4.3-4ubuntu1: amd64 i386

    Hence I think Python version 3.4 is in trusty, utopic, vivid and wily

    It would be helpful, if who-ever on launchpad marked something as fixed, identified which version of python contains a particular fix, but as the discussion on launchpad said, that's not straight forward (and I'd argue, it's not an ubuntu specific issue either).
