Unfortunately, this file causes PackageKit to show in App Center, GNOME Software, KDE Discover and other package management GUIs and allow users to click an "Uninstall" button. The appstream metadata should be updated to specify that it cannot be uninstalled. This was implemented upstream in version 1.3.0: https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/commit/d8f84f7e0a017e0b4df1e08a2a6be832c9fb3611 [ Test plan ] 1. Install gnome-software 2. Run `gnome-software --details org.freedesktop.PackageKit` 3. Verify that "Software" opens a page about PackageKit 4. Verify that there is no button to uninstall it [ Where problems could occur ] The patch only changes the metainfo.xml file adding <compulsory_for_desktop> tags. The tag is supported starting from appstream version 0.6 (dating 2014), so the file will be parsed without problems.
