After an libreoffice upgrade on may 7, My debian system does not
boot, and just shows the word "GRUB" on a black screen.

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

My bet is on: The grub-install was done to wrong boot disk. (And "wrong
boot disk" being not the boot disk.)

Thanks for reporting back. Yes, a re-install gets a Linux system
back to a working Linux system. For what it is worth: Installing Linux
did learn me a lot.

I guess the old re-install will always work :)

I suggest that you take an image of your OS drive now. Raw dd(1) works.
