Contacts do not show in web app for all users any more

This is a copy of the bug ticket already created (Contacts do not show in web app for all users any more · Issue #3253 · nextcloud/contacts · GitHub) hoping someone could help me and the NC team to fix it even faster.

Thanks


Describe the bug

I assume since the last version of contacts got installed, the contacts app is empty for all users. DAVx seems to synronize without errors, so I must assume that the contacts are still stored in the DB but the web app cannot read the information.

Additional info

This is what I see in the docker log when opening the contacts app, even though it makes no sense because everything else works.

There seems someone else having the same - unfixed - problem

Hi, after update I have same problem. Thank you for any help.

I am still investigating but this is the closest I got so far

The last 5 days I had not problem with the contacts app loading, any more. Seems that the initial error

Gets solved by @szaimen idea of raising the max_allowed_packed value. I raised it to 256MB but I cannot say if it is too much or not enough.
I am still wondering what has changed from the previous contacts web app to the one raising the error in my setup. Perhaps this could be checked by nextcloud to have a proper max_allowed_packet value.
