Description
On ubuntu bionic, only since today (Thursday, July 10, 2025):
When running the usual wget of get.docker.com piped into sh,
the install script ends up failing with an error about not being able to apt-install the docker-model-plugin package.
Running the same apt command (mentioned in the install script error log) but removing the last package (docker-model-plugin) solves the issue.
But it would be nice to be able to do (as it used to work for the past years) just a simple "wget piped into sh" and succeed (without any patching afterwards).
It's ok if you want to just close and delete this issue,
I just wanted to mention it to someone somewhere
(since not everybobdy is using such old ubuntu versions)
and it looked like here was the best place to mention it.
I hope I did not bother anyone needlessly, in that case I am sorry about it.

Research direction
Start with the get.docker.com install script and reproduce the apt-install failure on Ubuntu Bionic using the command from the error log. Compare the package list with and without docker-model-plugin; done means the standard wget-piped-to-sh install completes on Bionic without manual patching.
