slackpkg not showing installed packages

Please bear with me because I have two problems. The first has to do with a shared library error that keeps libreoffice from starting. This is the impetus for my real problem, which I'll get to in a moment. I tried to use the "check" that was in this thread, since my problem is very similar, it's just that my problem is with a later version of libicui18n.

Later in that same thread, someone suggests to uninstall libreoffice and install it again. I figured I would try that and this is my real problem. When I use

you can see that slackpkg doesn't recognize the libreoffice package, even though it is installed.

doesn't work either. So it looks like slackpkg doesn't recognize/find the libreoffice package that I installed with slackpkg. I ran the usual slackpkg procedure ("update, upgrade-all, install-new, clean-up") in this same session and that did not change libreoffice.

I do have slackpkg+ also installed, but I don't think that will affect this operation. I am using Slackware-current. I am using the -current and the alienbob repositories.
