If you note carefully your package selections within the dselect
"selections" screen, you'll note that dselect does NOT unselect packages
after it installs them -- if you select xforms, install it (via dselect),
and then run dselect, it remains selected as "install". You want to
change this from "install" to "leave in current state"; this is probably
done by pressing "=" when the package line is selected -- at this point
the indicator should change from
*** to **= or something similar.
