I put in a new (experimental) soprano-2.3.63, but didn't build a
corresponding soprano-backend-sesame2 (was hoping that it would no
longer be necessary, now that the virtuoso backend is showing promise).
That said, I could work to either build it anyway, or put an Obsoletes
somewhere for an upgrade path for existing -sesame2 users like yourself.
I'll have ponder how best to handle that.
