Normally I use dnf to update and install. I keep a local repo on USB to move from one machine to another without downloading. Occasionally I try a command from memory and bash tells me that it is not installed on the system and with the proper response an install will download and install the needed program. The rpm for the installation does not show in /var/cache/dnf.
Sounds like you have PackageKit-command-not-found installed on your system.
Is it saved somewhere or only temporary?
Shouldn't it be like any installation of packages. The rpm is downloaded, installed, and deleted on a successful install.
Similarly the Updates launcher on the KDE panel goes and does its activity but there is no trace of where things may be stored or how to require retention.
I assume you're talking about the little circle with the up arrow in it. I say that since some folks abandon PackageKit for dnfdragora. PackageKit does honor the dnf.conf. So, if you have keepcache=true then the rpms will remain after an install. They would be found in /var/cache/PackageKit/34/metadata/updates-34-x86_64 for example.
Is that information available?
I don't know. But I found it out by setting the dnf.conf config as above, ran an update, and then did a "locate" on one of the packages being which was just updated. -- On Facebook it is called Vaguebooking. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
