try to reinstall libreoffice-common since it provides the .so . Or is your / partition full?

I've checked both architectures pkg archives locally and they include the libswlo.so - your error msg seems to include some weird linking. Do you have an uncommon partition mounting that may break some symlinks?

maybe his PATH is weird/broken?

I've no real clue so far, just that libreoffice won't start anymore w/ the given error message in a GUI window

Not sure if this strace could hint to the bug:

Started with strace -fF -e open libreoffice

Args. I've had another instance of libreoffice running. Killed that made libreoffice work again :-(
