Fedora 41 : Error gio default application for image.

I run today an old python script in my Fedora 41 to create an image and the result after running was:
mythcat@localhost:~$ python test_001.py 
gio: file:///tmp/tmpwy1k4wyo.PNG: Failed to find default application for content type ‘image/png’
This can be fixed with an default application for images like feh:
$ sudo dnf5 install feh

Fedora 41 : remove package lead to unexpected results.

Today I saw the mutter package from Fedora distro come with a new update.
I don't use this package, ... is a mess in my oppinion.
But I found this output when I tried to remove
root@localhost:/home/mythcat# dnf5 remove mutter

I tried with the --noautoremove, and --exclude args and not result:
root@localhost:/home/mythcat# dnf5 remove --noautoremove --exclude=gnome-shell,gdm mutter

  - problem with installed package
The solution is old rpm tool:
root@localhost:/home/mythcat# rpm -e --nodeps mutter 
root@localhost:/home/mythcat# dnf5 remove mutter
No packages to remove for argument: mutter

Nothing to do.
