That is because the io package is installed, but you actually have to load
that installed package:

pkg load io

Once done, you'll see an asterisk appear in that line, more or less like so:

Package Name  | Version | Installation directory
--------------+---------+-----------------------
          io *|   2.4.10 | ...\dist\octave\share\octave\packages\io-2.4.10

(You just can't load a package tarball like you attempted later on)
