This is an excellent reason to avoid installing unpackaged software.  Had the file in question been part of a package, then removing or updating the package would have taken care of the problem without any for you to sweat details such as this.

With the file not being part of a package, however, the first question to ask is how you would determine the appropriate version number if you had to do it manually.  Knowing that, the most idiomatic way to proceed would be to make a custom fact of it, and to use the fact value in a resource declaration such as you presented.
