Bug 1394862's status is CLOSED ERRATA. According to
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/errata?s=t
errata means:
"1.plural of erratum.
2.a list of errors and their corrections inserted, usually on a separate page or
slip of paper, in a book or other publication; corrigenda."
Knowing that definition, I expect a web search to find me a list describing
something about the state of whatever package, applicable to the not yet
released Fedora 26, contains a fix for that bug, but searching found me no such
list. :-(
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_status states a bug with
status ERRATA has a fix that "is available", but I suspect that for this bug
and
many others, such status has been applied prematurely/prospectively, confirming
propriety of some kind of available status list.
Neither of those is the correct reference; in fact the
bugzilla.redhat.com page *specifically states* that it is not the
correct reference for Fedora bugs. The correct reference for Fedora
bugs is
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow :
"Once a bug has been fixed and included in a new package in rawhide or
the updates repo it should be closed. For a stable or Branched release,
the resolution ERRATA should be used. For Rawhide, the resolution
RAWHIDE should be used."
ERRATA just means there was an update (that is, a Bodhi update) that
fixed the bug.
