crictl is not able to pull flannel images

crictl is not able to pull flannel-cni-plugin image sudo crictl pull docker.io/flannel/flannel-cni-plugin:v1.4.0-flannel1

Current Behavior

sudo crictl pull docker.io/flannel/flannel-cni-plugin:v1.4.0-flannel1
DEBU[0000] get image connection

Possible Solution

unsure

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Pull flannel-cni-plugin:v1.4.0-flannel1 image using crictl
2. sudo crictl pull docker.io/flannel/flannel-cni-plugin:v1.4.0-flannel1

Context

When using kubectl apply -f https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/releases/latest/download/kube-flannel.yml, the pods enter the Init:ImagePullBackOff state. Upon investigation, we discovered that the flannel-cni-plugin:v1.4.0-flannel1 image is not being pulled. We attempted crictl pull docker.io/flannel/flannel-cni-plugin:v1.4.0-flannel1, resulting in the same error. Surprisingly, its working with docker docker pull docker.io/flannel/flannel-cni-plugin:v1.4.0-flannel1.
