neverending uninstall

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KIM 6 https://store.kde.org/p/2307290/ with Dolphin (beware of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508140 when doing that)
2. Uninstall it

OBSERVED RESULT
The uninstallation goes forever, saying "Working..." and a turning gear icon despite suceeding in uninstalling everything. Closing the window (and the parent settings window) and reopening it leads to KIM 6 still being listed as Installed. Clicking "Uninstall" now works.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should uninstall cleanly. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 42
KDE Plasma Version:  6.4.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note I am the current maintainer of the package, but I just ported it to Plasma 6.  As far as I can tell, the uninstall script uninstalls everything. Not sure if I need to do some magic to let Dolphin know that the uninstall is complete, but if that is the case, the documentation is quite lacking: https://develop.kde.org/docs/apps/dolphin/service-menus/

I would have to dig into how other packages indicate uninstallation is complete. Are there other known packages that uninstall completely and work with the system properly?

I will have a look in a month's time, I am now computer-less in Nepal :-).
