After an libreoffice upgrade on may 7, My debian system does not

I doubt it was the libreoffice upgrade that did it. It might have been
something else that was upgraded at the same time.
If you can boot the netinst CD image, you should be able to run the
rescue facility on it. Use that to run update-grub, and try again.
I tries that and also tried re-running grub-install and it still did
not work I installed debian 12.2 along side the other one and now it
works
I suggest that you take an image of your OS drive now. Raw dd(1) works.
Clonezilla is the canonical FOSS live distribution for imaging:
