I notice that I do not have virtuoso-opensource-utils installed. I ran yum info virt-o-u... and all it tells me is that these are utilities. What would this package do for me? What commands, functions does it provide? What is in it that I might actually like to use or would conceivably use?

Something like this will show you what files are in the package without installing: yumdownloader virtuoso-opensource-utils && rpm -qlp virtuoso-opensource-utils-6.1.1-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm

What I *do* know, if that they are not needed for the minimal virtuoso instance as required by nepomuk/soprano. But, I didn't feel comfortable just deleting or omitting them completely from packaging, opting instead to provide them in an option subpackage, presumably for those folks who do know what they are and how to use them. yes, lame on my part.
