'xclip' not listed among kivy dependencies on raspbian JESSIE

If I install kivy following the instructions on kivy-website I get this error running showcase.py:

[CRITICAL] [Cutbuffer   ] Unable to find any valuable Cutbuffer provider at all!
xclip - OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I think 'xclip' should be mentioned among kivy dependencies.

Thats correct but you have to report that to the package maintainer. If you were using Ubuntu+PPA then you can expect that I would fix that quickly 😉
