Libreoffice 25.2.3 is not working on Chomebook ChromeOS Version 135.0.7049.128

I’ve been using LibreOffice on my chromebook for 3 years+ now with minimal issues and love it. My chromebook OS upgraded this week and LibreOffice stopped working, just nothing. All my installs and unistalls are done via ssh using apt install and purge and yes I run sudo apt update -y and sudo apt upgrade -y everytime prior to running any other apt command.

To clarify as much as can be installed via apt is done though to get the latest version LibreOffice I use the instructions from Installing LibreOffice on Linux - The Document Foundation Wiki

So I uninstalled LibreOffice and reinstalled still nothing, purged all LibreOffice (menus in chromebook all gone. I created a new penguin container and installed fresh with nothing else. from the chromebook menus the splash screen flashes and then nothing.

Still in the new container:
From ssh running /opt/libreoffice25.2/program/soffice I get the same, just a flash of the splash screen but I do get an error message.

javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx
/opt/libreoffice25.2/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libssl3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I did the following installs as different errors came.

sudo apt install default-jre

/opt/libreoffice25.2/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxslt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sudo apt install libxslt1.1

And now it works in the new container. Next try it in the default penguin container.

Note that the “javaldx” warning is just a warning, and is unrelated to the failure - see tdf#163485. The missing libssl3.so was the real problem, and needed to be installed (likely was auto-installed with the unnecessary java anyway).
