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

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
