The difference is that Trixie has updated to (Docker) version 26, and version 22+ includes https://github.com/docker/cli/pull/3314 which means any attempt to use buildkit from the command line shells out to the ("optional" 🙃) buildx plug-in instead of including code in the engine itself that can talk directly to buildkit (in other words, the engine runs an instance of buildkitd embedded inside, but it can't directly interact with/instrument it -- only buildx can). So in short, no, buildx is not and has never (yet) been part of Debian; see https://bugs.debian.org/989917. (equal parts "it didn't need to be" and "nobody has done the work yet") ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4
