Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
If during retraces we encounter a version mismatch, i. e. a package or some dependency is out of date, and the resulting stack trace is unusable, bug should automatically be closed as invalid with a proper comment. This is currently done manually by triaging teams, but that's just a waste of work.

Martin,
Sometimes we don't close the bugs straight away, but often give the reporter the opportunity to obtain a backtrace if the crash is repeatable. I don't know if that's the correct way to handle them though.
