Just for the record, what I do when I want to start LibreOffice from the command line is I type:

libr<tab>

to which the bash prompt replies:

libreoffice

then I hit enter.  From there you can get to calc or write or ...

However, if you really don't want that extra step of choosing, you can do what I just did and type man libreoffice or (man localc, or probably even man -k libreoffice) and find that there are command line names for each of the things.  And, having seen the man page, I now realize that its not 'local' c, its 'lo' calc.  For LibreOffice calc (so the others are lobase, lodraw, loimpress, etc).

Too much to remember, I'll stick with libr<tab> thank you very much!  (This all assumes you've got tab completion enabled, and if you DON'T you should seriously consider it, unless you really love typing! ;-)

Perhaps refreshing the package repository and installing again  may work.
Another option is to install an older working version of libreoffice.

Old school is to reboot to fix errors!!

In the early days of DOS and Windows a reboot was often necessary.

I started my computer then tried to start libreoffice but nothing
happened. So I opened a tty, typed in libreoffice, hit return/ and
nothing happened. No error. It just went to the next line. So I
tried to reinstall it and stuff installed. then I tried to open
libreoffice-calc but it isn't on the computer.
