Public bug reported:

The following OOPS contains some misinformation:

https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/3680877e-5046-11e7-89b7-fa163e54c21f

The Date field is from before the package version in the report was
accepted into -proposed. This likely happened because the .crash file
was created and data collection, including adding the Package key, was
done after systemd had been upgraded. This is alluded to in the
UnreportableReason of the OOPS.

UnreportableReason:
Неполадка произошла с программой /lib/systemd/systemd-resolved, в которую были 
внесены изменения с момента её аварийного завершения работы.

It says that systemd-resolved was modified since the error occurred.

As we can see in bug 1621396 this ended up confusing the developer and
they were concerned about their fix not working. It seems like apport or
whoopsie should do something better here.

Ideas include not putting a package version in the Package field if the
binary has been modified, or not uploading the crash to the Error
Tracker if the binary has changed.  The latter would require some
additional work because the UnreportableReason is translated.
