As Donn has discovered Inkscape no longer installs on older versions of Fedora.
I worked with him off list to find out why. There are two separate problems:
* Use of __gnu_cxx::__pool (or something like that, going from memory). This is probably being used implicitly and is another case of the GNU people deciding to "helpfully" upgrade your dependencies for you.
* Use of GOption API
Together these cause the requirements of the binary to be higher than what the autopackage things they are.
thanks -mike

Thanks for investigating this, Mike. What do you think the possible options are for dealing with this?

Well, figuring out where they're used and preventing them from being included seems the best way forward - for the C++ thing it may be implicit in which case a change to apbuild might be able to fix it.
