--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Discover is exposing a technical detail here: the fact that these different
items are all part of the same underlying package. For example Okular includes
the plugins, and Hunyango, Haenau, and the other items are all part of the same
`kdeplasma-addons` package.
We're confusing you because we allow a multi-item package to display multiple
items in the UI, which tricks you into thinking that they can be independently
installed and removed, when in fact, they can't be.
It's kind of a tricky problem to solve though. In the case of the Okular
plugins, they are all correctly marked as add-ons, so perhaps Discover could
collapse them into the parent okular package. In the case of the
kdeplasma-addons packages, maybe we need a more generic method to collapse
items provided by a single package. Or maybe we need to fix a bug with those
things not getitng marked as add-ons as they should
Needs further investigation.
