Per pkg(1) 'info' command works only for installed packages. If the 
package is missing (which is what `pkg` is saying here), one has to add 
'-r' option:

{global} newman at lenovo:~ $ pkg info -r openoffice
           Name: desktop/office/openoffice
          State: Not installed (Obsolete)
      Publisher: openindiana.org
        Version: 4.1.2
         Branch: 2016.0.1.0
Packaging Date: July  5, 2018 at 09:52:00 PM
           Size: 0.00 B
           FMRI: 
pkg://openindiana.org/desktop/office/openoffice@4.1.2-2016.0.1.0:20180705T215200Z

Also, note the 'State' field.
