Have you added the proper livna to your list of repositories? You can
install k9copy from there directly. And I don't see if needed, for
example, GLIBC_2.7 at all.

Maybe it was a temporary dependency glitch in livna? I currently have
k9copy for f7 i386 installed with no problems (well, I had to revert to
1.1.1-2.rerel3.lvn7 because of issues with 1.1.2). I didn't need nor
would I recommend using Fedora testing...
