For a specific bug on https://bugs.kde.org/ the messages show that the bug was fixed and commited to the source repository. But when will the bugfix appear in the ubuntu repositories. Is there a fix shedule for bugfixes which allows me to estimate how long I need to wait for a specific bug?

Answer 1

Unless it's a crucial security fix, the next Ubuntu upgrade is the earliest possibility. If it's a minor fix with big usability or compatibility implications, you can request a backport, or hope that somebody has rolled a PPA with the fix included. Individual bugs are tracked and prioritized in Launchpad, so for a start, make sure it's also reported there.
