Installed pet not uninstallable by PKGget

I installed the pet fcitx64_4.2.7-en-zh-bionic-21.2.7.pet from viewtopic.php?p=95296#p95296

It was missing in the list of the installed pets in PKGget so uninstallable by PKGget (viewtopic.php?p=130049#p130049)

PS: During (or at the end of) installation of the pet, X rebooted

The culprit is the command restartwm in the script pinstall.sh (line 275) that relaunch X before the installation of the pet was completed (The name of pet is not added to the list /root/.packages/user-installed-packages)

The problem is probably the same with the pet chinese-stage1-fcitx-21.4.0.pet (repository pet-scarthgap-official)

Method (not completely tested) considered to install correctly this pet :

-Install the pet with PKGget but close the XDialog without press the YES (or OK) button
The files are installed, the name of the pet is added to the list of installed pakages but the script was not executed.

-Install again but this time press the button of the XDialog (I have not tested, because it will change the keyboard layout to US)
