Can't get registry manifest on earlier docker clients?

[aza547]

I raised an issue distribution/distribution#4400 and was redirected here.

Description

Unable to inspect the manifest for registry on some docker builds. Hoping I'm doing something stupid. But maybe something up with the way this is being uploaded to docker.io?

Reproduce

On one instance of WSL:

$ docker version

Expected behavior

Both versions of docker return the manifest.

registry version

Tried with "latest", "2.8.3", "2". Same results.

Additional Info

I believe this is basically a duplicate of moby/moby#43126, and was fixed by docker/cli#3990; So docker cli v23.0.0 and up has the fix for supporting OCI image types.

docker pull and other commands would be able to use the images just fine since 18.06 moby/moby#37359.

Thanks a bunch, it does look the same.
