The program is installed with incorrect permissions, and only root and members of the xastir-ax25 group are permitted to run it.
Either add yourself to the xastir-ax25 group, or change the permissions on the program (with "sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/xastir"). This is an issue of how the binary was packaged by the package maintainer. If you had built the code yourself from source it wouldn't be like that. Might want to look into how the package maintainer intended that package to be used. It looks like they've got it set up so that instead of setting the suid bit, you're supposed to have all authorized ax25 users in the xastir-ax25 group. I believe the debian xastir package maintainer is on this group.
