To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org
Subject: 29.0.91; package.el should not install unselected packages
Date: Thu, 18 May 2023 03:10:23 +0100
Reproduction:

1. M-x list-packages
2. Press x on a line
3. Observer in the echo area package.el is now asking the user to
whether to install the package.

Expectation:

If the user has not pressed i to select the package for installation,
package.el should not ask the user to confirm anything. There's no
action to execute. This is unexpected dwim behavior.
