This fixed the problem:
sudo apt-get install odbc-mdbtools
Perhaps LibreOffice Base should specify odbc-mdbtools as a dependency.

Title:
Could not load the program library libodbc.so or it is corrupted. The
ODBC data source selection is not available.
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I'm working on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS x86_64 fully patched. I have
LibreOffice Base installed. I am trying to open a MS Access database.
I open LibreOffice Base. At Step (1) I select "Connect to an existing
database". At Step (2), which is the File Open dialog, I click browse:
Could not load the program library libodbc.so or it is corrupted.
The ODBC data source selection is not available.
At this point I am browsing to the *.mdb file. No database is
selected.
====================
This is a drag. I am working with a company that specializes in fresh
water wells. I'm trying to get them to convert from Windows to Linux
for all the right reasons. Obviously they cannot convert if Linux
software cannot open the database.
====================
