I think we will have to rely on crypto hash in some form. Similar to download checksum. It won't be convenient, but it will be safe(r).

I was thinking something along the line of a mandatory hash/checksum along with the name of the software you are trying to install from a package manager. It does not have to be very long, just enough to avoid common collisions.
