Pulling image on a COS instance: WARNING: Unable to determine Docker version: exit status 1 about docker-credential-gcr

Running me@att ~ sudo docker run --rm gcr.io/google-containers/busybox echo "hello world" is fine.

Hey, sorry for your trouble, please contact gcr-contact (at) google.com with:

• the command being run
• the error being seen
• the contents of your docker config (minus sensitive auths values)

[layik]

Thanks @dekkagaijin finding an email like that is a monumental task. I will get in touch.

If I remember correctly, the problem ended up being the same as this stack overflow question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51236449/unable-to-pull-image-from-private-gcr-from-container-optimized-compute-engine

Leaving this in case anyone else stumbles here :)

@jonjohnsonjr It does not work for me after trying the solution in the stack overflow question.
I'm using cos-stable-67-10575-64-0 and Google Container Registry Docker credential helper 1.4.3
