MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for affinity [2]:

Orphaned package.
Project had one release, v0.1, then got abandoned.
This happened in 2007.

Supposedly this was a desktop search tool, based on GTK2.

Depends on Gnome-VFS which was deprecated
and discontinued in 2008.

Also it seems it requires gnome-libs
(last version 1.4.2 from 2002), not
libgnome 2.x which exists in AUR.

Arch Linux was started in 2002.
There is no gnome-lib 1.x package even in
the Arch Historical Archives.

I tried to revive this package out of curiosity,
but it's not worth for me to try further.

gnome-libs v1.x would conflict with libgnome v2.x.
The latter one is also a deprecated legacy library.

There are a myriad of working and up-to date
desktop search tool alternatives, including
those built-in by default in graphical desktop
environments like GNOME Shell etc.

Last user comment was in 2018, reporting that it
was already failing to build, likely because
gcc didn't find a required dependency.

Safe to delete. Nothing depends on it.
