Public bug reported:

xchat-gnome is unmaintained.

It was removed from Debian and Ubuntu 17.04. It was reintroduced to
Ubuntu but without any real commitment to maintain the package.

Its last upstream release was 9 years ago
https://download.gnome.org/sources/xchat-gnome/0.26/

The Ubuntu version is a bizarre mix up of a git snapshot and 37 patches.

Users would be better off switching to hexchat which is actually
maintained.

See also https://launchpad.net/bugs/1753169 for xchat, a somewhat
different app with the same general problem.
