+Subject: [PATCH] Convert HISTORY.rst from UTF-8 format to ASCII
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+UTF-8 formatted file breaks installations on some systems:
+
+Traceback (most recent call last):
+  File "setup.py", line 34, in <module>
+    long_description=open('README.rst').read() + '\n\n' + open('HISTORY.rst').read(),
+  File "/home/peko/autobuild/instance-1/output/target/usr/lib/python3.6/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
+    return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
+UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 1125: ordinal not in range(128)
+
+To fix this error just replace '§' with 'S' meaning 'Section'.
