    OK, for whatever unknown reason,
    /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo had
    the 'enabled' flag set to 0.  Setting it to 1 allowed dnf to update
    Chrome to version 118.0.5993.70--and the pink button is gone.

    I see the same thing on another similarly behaving system, with
    the mod
    date on the file as July 26. There is an 'rpmnew' version of that
    file
    (dated 2/3/2022) with the same flag set to 0, but with another
    line that
    says "skip_if_unavailable=True" This line is not present in the
    currently used file.

Also, don't forget that you have to restart chrome after updating or you'll continue to see the notification.

There is this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2170839 documenting a defect with the google-chrome F38 repositories, but the last entry in the bug specifies that the issue has been fixed, so the update issues reported here may have just been a temporary glitch.

Steve
