as for gpaste (one of the dependees of libarchive):
it doesn't build since the recent gnome merge. i've filed a patch for the necessary version bump:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70133
which also gets rid of the libarchive dependency.
it would be nice to get this fast tracked. although, judging from the (lack of) complaints, i might be the only user of it.
PS: and meanwhile we're packaging an alternative, namely gnome-shell-extension-clipboard-indicator, with an enormous security flaw: by default it saves the clipboard history in clear text, and calls the feature "cache only favorites", so that even if you look for it, you still don't realize it:
https://github.com/Tudmotu/gnome-shell-extension-clipboard-indicator/issues/138#issuecomment-904689439
...and its author actively defends this situation.
