It is possible you have crossed wires about where your pkgdb is.    I
suggest you read carefully:
  https://www.pkgsrc.org/pkgdb-change/

and look around in your filesystem and see the script and be super
careful.

You may also want to update pkgin.   I have no idea how old your
installed packages are.   As I said before, having some packages old,and
especially very old, is asking for trouble because essentially nobody
who contributes to pkgsrc does is that way.

So your installed libreoffice is broken.  I suggest 'pkgin rm
libreoffice' to get to a safer that.

Also check if you hvae /usr/bin/pkg_info and /usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_info both
and if they print the same thing.

Try also "pkgin sk" and "pkgin -n upgrade".
