Ahoy

https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/blob/master/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml is broken at exactly line 149 (https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/blob/master/Documentation/kube-flannel.yml#L149) due to the change in pull-request #2466

Either a typo with the the filename, or that new cp replacement didn't make it to the referenced image ghcr.io/flannel-io/flannel-cni-plugin:v1.9.1-flannel1

This result in

$ kubectl -n kube-flannel get pods
NAME                    READY   STATUS                   RESTARTS       AGE
kube-flannel-ds-jm4dq   0/1     Init:RunContainerError   18 (59s ago)   68m

and the describe of the pod contains this:

  Warning  Failed     36m (x9 over 52m)     kubelet            spec.initContainers{install-cni}: Error: failed to create containerd task: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "/opt/bin/install-conf": stat /opt/bin/install-conf: no such file or directory: unknown
