How to check EPEL dependencies from Fedora?

I would like to get fltk in EPEL updated to 1.3.X as fldigi is dropping
backward compatibility with fltk 1.1.X.

In order to do that I was trying to figure out the magnatude of the change,
but I don't seem to have a good way of checking which other EPEL packages
will need to be rebuilt.

I tried using repoquery from a mock chroot of EPEL 6, but as I understand
it, running yum/rpm tools really are not designed to work from inside mock.
At least if gives a lot of errors about the rpm database, but it did
produce output...

# repoquery --whatrequires libfltk.so.1.1
rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/Name: unexpected file type or format
error: cannot open Name index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)
rpmdb: /var/lib/rpm/Providename: unexpected file type or format
error: cannot open Providename index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)
Pixie-0:2.2.6-3.el6.i686
aqsis-libs-0:1.6.0-3.el6.i686
fltk-devel-0:1.1.10-1.el6.i686
octave-6:3.4.3-1.el6.i686

Thanks,
Richard
