Package: ethtool
Version: 1:6.14-1

ethtool is user uninstallable via GUI (such as GNOME Software or KDE Discover). This is not correct since it is a (in many configurations pre-installed) system tool, not user app, and uninstalling it can also uninstall other critical system packages.

The main problem is the "desktop" component type in AppStream metadata:

$ head org.kernel.software.network.ethtool.metainfo.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component type="desktop">
  <id>org.kernel.software.network.ethtool</id>
  <metadata_license>MIT</metadata_license>
  <name>ethtool</name>
  <summary>display or change Ethernet device settings</summary>
  <description>
    <p>ethtool can be used to query and change settings such as speed,
    auto- negotiation and checksum offload on many network devices,
    especially Ethernet devices.</p>

The correct component type should be "console-application".

(This should ideally be fixed in upstream as well.)

Alternative solution would be removing the whole metainfo file.
