Please file bugs about your problems at <https://bugs.kde.org>. While
you won't get an immediate fix, it helps to resolve the problems for
future Kubuntu versions.

Either this
kate:
Installed: 4:14.12.3-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 4:14.12.3-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 4:14.12.3-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/universe amd64
or the equivalent version for i386. But the version displayed at Help ->
About Kate is "5.0.0 using KDE Frameworks 5.9.0".
I don't think you can downgrade to a previous version of kate due to
dependencies. Usually core components of KDE can't be replaced by an
older version. But at least you can try. Look at
<http://packages.ubuntu.com> for the packages of the version you want to
install and also for the dependencies. And be very careful when
installing those packages - otherwise it may remove the entire KDE
environment leaving you without a desktop.
