The list of fonts at the left of your screen shot shows Linux Libertine O, which is the opentype version (fonts endings in .otf), while the main portion shows .ttf fonts, which are named Linux Libertine (no 'O').  I had the same problem a while back, accidentally having installed both versions.

Thanks for the suggestion.

It seems like there have been problems with downloading 
the archive from SourceForge.

Last time I tried the archive was broken:
viz.

There is no purely italic version in there.
Who knows how much of the archive is missing!

I think it is time to try to get the archive afresh.
