Unable to fild kazam package to remove it

Question

Today I faced serious bug while using kazam (screen recorder) on fedora 38 workstation. The bug was unavailability to stop recording.

I tried to reinstall it by running in terminal sudo dnf reinstall kazam, but dnf answered me the following:

Last metadata expiration check: 0:08:16 ago on Tue 29 Aug 2023 06:29:53 PM EET.
Package kazam available, but not installed.
No match for argument: kazam
Error: No packages marked for reinstall.

so, dnf could't find corresponding package

after that I tried delete the package trough built-in fedora software manager, but also couldn't find package 'kazam'

then, I tried to run sudo rpm -qa | grep kazam to fild the target package, nothing returned

sudo yum list installed | grep kazam finished with the same result - nothing

snap and flatpak also do not list kazam.

But kazam is starting! Where could i loose it? and how to delete kazam, if i cannot find it anywhere?

Answer 1

The problem was solved by installing kazam from one of third-party RPM repos. After this action, package managers began to understand that kazam is installed.

More detailed process:

sudo dnf install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rpmsphere/noarch/master/r/rpmsphere-release-38-1.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf update && sudo dnf install kazam
sudo dnf remove kazam
sudo dnf autoremove

I faced the same issue on laptop also powered by fedora, but the same manipulations didn't work in this case
