Because of a missing tags in the AppStream metainfo file, PackageKit is shown as user uninstallable in GNOME Software and other GUI/TUI package managers based on AppStream metadata. This is incorrect and potentially dangerous.

The issue was already fixed in upstream and its fix was added as a downstream patch into Fedora 40. Please, consider backporting this patch into RHEL 10 as well.
