It's the IO::Socket::IP / getaddrinfo / AI_ADDRCONFIG problem with
systems that don't have any network interfaces other than lo, like
pbuilder with USENETWORK=NO. See #759799 and #813796.

I suspect IO::Socket::IP should be smarter here but I'm not sure.

The workaround is presumably to pass GetAddrInfoFlags => 0 to
IO::Socket::IP constructors, at least where the address family is
explicitly spelled out.

Sorry, no patch atm.
