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

Here is a second version of the patch. This adds UTF8 support without
breaking things. New command-line option (-u|--utf8) switches between
XA_STRING and UTF8_STRING selection targets. When UTF8_STRING is not
supported by X-server, xsel falls back to XA_STRING.

Please note, this patch also fixes #203925 (manpage bug).

Thanks for advice and testing to Thomas Dickey <email address hidden>.
