Normally I use dnf to update and install. I keep a local repo on USB

Sounds like you have PackageKit-command-not-found installed on your
system.
What would install PackageKit-command-not-found if PackageKit is not
used? Would just a look at Gnome desktop pull it in? Seemed to be part
of bash.
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.
My normal install is from dnf and keepcache=True is set in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
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.
Never use PackageKit. dnf from terminal window, found dnfdragora
tedious. Have clicked on the circle when it tells me I have many more
updates than dnf update shows to see what is there and it pulled in a
number of rpms that went somewhere.
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.
Does the kde app use this directory as well?
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.
Tried to use mc (Midnight Commander) in a terminal window. It wasn't
installed so the message came up and let the sequence download and
install it.
Cant' fine the repo on the system
