Never used it myself, but it looks like what's available online via Package Manger is from 2014, i.e., a very old version. It lists both 565 and 0.1 as its version numbers, which sound like Subversion revision number and actual version number, respectively. My guess would be that the repository from which that package is built is no longer maintained.

There appears to be a repository here:

https://github.com/eXist-db/xsltforms-xar

that has version 1.3.  So you could try building that and then just installing the resulting XAR via package manager like you would do for any locally-developed package. 

I don't know who owns the exist-db.org/apps extension delivery mechanism or why it would be serving such an old version.
