Looks as if you've downloaded something and installed it manually.
Otherwise you'd get some output that would show what repo it came from.
Like....
Repo : fedora
Repo : updates
My initial mention of zoom was because I recalled earlier threads about
it. Based on what Ed said, my zoom comments in my initial post should
be ignored.
I did, 2(?) years ago, download zoom from its website, and use dnf to
install it. So Ed is correct. I misunderstood dnf's output.
