Research direction
Start by locating the client's command-line data-fetching and network connection entry points; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Reproduce the case on a host with an IPv6 address but no IPv6 connectivity, then implement either IPv4 fallback or a -4 option and verify that tldr can access its data.
