work around:

$ sudo apt-get remove xfig
$ apt-get build-dep xfig

get the Trusty packages
$ wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xfig/xfig_3.2.5.c-1ubuntu1.dsc
$ wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xfig/xfig_3.2.5.c.orig.tar.gz
$ wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xfig/xfig_3.2.5.c-1ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz
$ dpkg-source -x xfig_3.2.5.c-1ubuntu1.dsc

now time to patch the dash_dot line code
$ cd xfig-3.2.5.c/
modify w_drawprim.c as follows :
$ diff w_drawprim.c_org w_drawprim.c
1302a1303
> static unsigned char dash_list_8[8] = {255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255,

<                       dash_list[op][il] = (char) 255; /* too large for X! */

1413c1414
<           XSetDashes(tool_d, gccache[op], 0, (char *) dash_list[op], nd);
---
>           XSetDashes(tool_d, gccache[op], 0, (char *) dash_list_8, nd);

build
$ xmkmf
$ make

Test it, .$/xfig and draw shapes with dash_dot styles.
