With the latest updates I get /usr/bin/oosplash: No such
file or directory when trying to launch libreoffice 6.0.3-2
from the command line. Libreoffice was installed using the
libreoffice-fresh package from the repos and is running on
KDE. The desktop icons do nothing. Using lowriter to launch
writer works fine.

All the entry points in /usr/bin for libreoffice do are re-execute /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice
So lowriter would be the same as libreoffice --writer, which, both of them run the "soffice" shellscript wrapper which itself just fancily invokes oosplash. So I don't know why this would fix anything.
But... Libreoffice opens just fine for me. I don't know why it would be looking in /usr/bin for you. *Unless* you're not using the packaged files. If the libreoffice wrapper you're using is running "soffice" from /usr/bin instead of /usr/lib/libreoffice/ then it would try to find oosplash in /usr/bin too. Which is obviously an issue.
Thanks for your comment though eschwartz. I feel like I've learned something :)
