When removing a platform-variant that does not exist in the local image store, an error is produced (wrapped error for readability);

$ docker image rm --platform=linux/s390x --force alpine
Error response from daemon: failed to delete platform linux/s390x for image sha256:a8560b36e8b8210634f77d9f7f9efd7ffa463e380b75e2e74aff4511df3ef88c: image with reference alpine:latest was found but does not provide any platform
This may be unexpected, because the --force flag is meant to (in this case) both "force" deleting (after "content will be removed warning"), and to ignore images (or image-variants) that don't exist. I'd expect a 404 ("not found") to be returned, so that the client can ignore the error if --force is used.
The error message is also slightly confusing ("but does not provide any platform") and perhaps a bit too verbose (or at least the digest is shown before the user-friendly alpine:latest.
I think we should;
- Make sure the API returns a
404 so that the client (with --force) can ignore the error
- Or make the
force handled at the daemon side
- Improve the error ("does not provide any platform" -> "but the given platform (linux/s390x) is not present" or something along those lines).
- Improve the error to make the user-friendly (
alpine:latest) more prominent than the (not-so-user-friendly) digest
