That's where the fun comes in.  Generally, you have to be vigilant, read
the docs, know what's installed on your system, and keep careful track
of what you do to it.  And even then, most open source software is
worthless crap that won't work.  (Not unlike most commercial software,
it's just the bar is lower to release a pile of free crap.)  Mailman and
Python are, thankfully, among the exceptions.
