It appears that image is not telling you kate is not installed.
It seems to instead be saying that it is recommended but cannot be automatically installed.
Another option may be that the required version is not found.
From what source are you obtaining the rkward package to install.?
This is what I see on my system when installing the package from fedora.
$ sudo dnf install rkward

Is this ok [y/N]:
Note that kate is not in the list of packages to install and it is not already installed.

In most cases it is preferable to install packages from fedora instead of 3rd party locations when that is possible.
Thanks for the answer, but I don’t understand your point.
The image says that kate is “recommended for installation” (second row of the image), but kate is already installed, as the code snippet of my post shows.
It is installed from official Fedora repos, as the code snippet of my post shows. Not from 3rd party locations.
Then I misunderstood the question.
I understood that rkward was having the issue, and that kate was not missing.
My response shows that installing rkward from fedora does not seem to require kate.
My comments were based on the assumption that this is an rkward issue and you have not stated how rkward was installed. I thus assumed it may have been installed from some source other than fedora as most software distributed by fedora is tested to work as installed, and kate does not show as a dependency when installing rkward.
As I asked above From what source are you obtaining the rkward package to install.?
Looking at the source code of that setup wizard, it’s checking for kate plugins, and then suggesting to install kate if it doesn’t find any. It appears that the kate package does include a few plugins, but you can try installing kate-plugins as well. Maybe it’s looking for some specific plugins.
