Package: xsel
Version: 0.9.6-1
Followup-For: Bug #231413

Xsel doesn't support XA_UTF8_STRING selection target when retrieving or
setting selections. Attached is a quick patch to make xsel
UTF8_STRING-enabled. Please note that this patch is not 100% correct.
With this patch applied, xsel will always ask other applications for
XA_UTF8_STRING instead of XA_STRING. Thus it could fail to communicate
selection with applications not aware of UTF8_STRING selection target.
Hovever, most of today programs (e.g. xterm, mozilla) handle
UTF8_STRING just fine, so this patch will probably work for you.
