[ Impact ]
* This is bug #4 for noble:
https://errors.ubuntu.com/?release=Ubuntu%2024.04&package=apport&period=month
* apport: FileNotFoundError in _add_executable_timestamp on ExecutablePath:
```

~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/tmp/.mount_jetbraMkhivj/jetbrains-toolbox'
```
* The upload fixes the bug as https://github.com/canonical/apport/pull/538
adds a try-catch for FileNotFoundError and sets ExecutableTimestamp to an error
message.
[ Test Plan ]
* This crash can be reproduced with systemd-coredump installed:
```
cp /usr/bin/sleep /tmp/sleep
/tmp/sleep 3600
killall -11 sleep
```
This is caused by /usr/lib/systemd/system/apport-coredump-
[email protected] having:
```
PrivateTmp=yes
```
* https://github.com/canonical/apport/pull/538 also introduced a unit
test for this.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* We are modifying the conditions for checking if a binary has
changed since the crash so a syntax error or a logical error in the
condition can lead to buggy behavior.
* Since apport is primarily for crash reports, user experience is
unlikely to be affected much.
