This is expected unless you have 

   set read_active 1

in your .slrnrc file.  Otherwise, slrn will not query the server about
information regarding unsubscribed groups.

The default value of read_active dates from the days before the
widespread use of high-speed internet when reading the server's active
file was relatively time consuming.

I hope this helps.
