In xenial chroot:
* apt install hexchat hexchat-plugins
* sed -e s/xenial/yakkety/g /etc/apt/sources.list

Can confirm this here, on upgrade from xenial-proposed to yakkety-proposed.

The good news is, if you re-run the upgrade it works since the hexchat package gets unpacked afterwards. But obviously this needs to be fixed.
