The D-Bus method org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Query.IsInstalled correctly reports that "libreoffice-base" is not installed, and that "libreoffice- writer" is installed. So it looks like packagekit is doing its job. This might be a problem in gnome-software.

After this, Software Centre will say that "libreoffice-base" couldn't be found. I am not sure if the cause of this issue is in the way that Software Centre is invoked? The package libreoffice-base exists and can be installed with "apt install libreoffice-base", after which using the Bibliography tool works fine.
