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

Occasionally I try a command from memory and bash tells me that it is not installed on

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.
