upass copy to clipboard stoped working since upgrade to Ubuntu 19.10

Copy to clipboard stopped working, but when it does copy it copies some random UTF characters ..
Using upass from Ubuntu repo / and this weird behaviors started when upgraded from Ubuntu 19.04 to 19.10.
Open a python3 shell and run:
import pyperclip
pyperclip.determine_clipboard()What does it output?
Also, are you using Xorg or Wayland?
this is the output
python3
Python 3.7.5 (default, Nov 20 2019, 09:21:52)
[GCC 9.2.1 20191008] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pyperclip
>>> pyperclip.determine_clipboard()
(<function init_gi_clipboard.<locals>.copy_gi at 0x7f7e9c6a4d40>, <function init_gi_clipboard.<locals>.paste_gi at 0x7f7e9c69c680>)
Xorg/X11 as far as I can tell .. Wayland is still not production-ready, or am I missing something?
The gi copy method is not part of the standard Python package, it’s a custom Ubuntu Debian patch. Run python3 and then:
import pyperclip
pyperclip.copy('hello world')
pyperclip.paste()Do you still get random garbage when you paste? Does random garbage appear when you paste with pyperclip.paste()?
That's the output

>>> import pyperclip
>>> pyperclip.copy('hello world')
>>> pyperclip.paste()
'hello world'
>>>
Do you get random garbage when you run this and then try to paste in another app?
I get nothing .. as nothing is copied
Everything points to this being an issue with Debian’s patch for pyperclip that adds gi/GTK+3 support being broken. Please report a bug to Ubuntu upstream (or Debian?).
