Details

This package:

extra/most 4.10.2-2
A terminal pager similar to 'more' and 'less'

doesn't work with UTF-8 encoded files (it doesn't display them correctly).

I found out that Debian has a patch that adds UTF-8 support, among other fixes:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/most/most_4.10.2-4.diff.gz

I've compiled "most" using this patch on my ArchLinux 0.7.2, and it works well.
Would be nice if you could incorporate this patch, or at least the UTF-8 part.
This task depends upon
