I think this is guix libarchive's problem, it doesn't support xar format 
because it
needs to input OpenSSL, EXPAT, And XML2.
See libarchive-3.4.2.tar.xz!libarchive-3.4.2/configure :

-----+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
L1546|  --without-openssl       Don't build support for mtree and xar hashes 
through
L1547|                          openssl
L1548|  --without-xml2          Don't build support for xar through libxml2
L1549|  --without-expat         Don't build support for xar through expat

It's new patch.
