This is usually DNS resolution error, though the command should not crash this way.

Does follow resolution work?

$ host `hostname`
$ host kermit.xyzzy.com

Alternatively, if you are not sure which DNS resolution fails, we could look at
strace output:

$ strace -o ipa.strace ipa-replica-manage del kermit.xyzzy.com --force

That would create a log caled ipa.strace with all system calls of
ipa-replica-manage del command and we would see which DNS resolution failed.
