Hi, I have an Ubuntu phone and it use syncevolution as backend for the
contacts. I use command lines to have my CardDav contacts on my phone.
But since I switched from self signed certificate to letsencrypt
(related or not), I have tons of errors.

Doing a slow synchronization may lead to duplicated items or

So I decided to try some things I don't remember exactly (like forcing
sync with refresh from local/remote) and changed the end of previous log by:

Since this step, I'm not able anymore to delete contact from my phone
and make it sync on the server (to delete the contact on the server
itself), instead the contact is just "cleared" (any information
disappear but the contact is still here and keep firstname and
lastname). I can sync contact created on the server on my phone and send
contacts created on my phone on the server.
It seems the backup database is corrupted but I'm not able to reset
completely my config. I just wanted to start by zero but I can't find
any way to do this. :'(

A --sync refresh-from-remote should reset your local data. It ignores
any existing items in the local database and also generates a new local
backup. Have you done that?
I'm not sure why you get the "comparison impossible" message. Perhaps
synccompare is not installed or not usable (it needs Perl).

Yes, I've tried both refresh-from-remote and refresh-from-local (despite that cleared
my database) and I always get the "Comparison was impossible" message.
Could you tell me more about synccompare? Can I use it or debug by another command line?
I can't certify that the message was not there before, but I'm pretty sure.

Could you tell me more about synccompare?
In the syncevolution.org packages, it is under /usr/bin/synccompare.
It's a perl script that takes two database dumps and compares them,
similar to a diff between text files.
It gives you additional information what exactly changed during a sync
(for example: ADR in a contact changed from foo to bar) instead of
merely saying "one contact changed".
Can I use it or debug by another command line?
You can call it with "synccompare <dump A> <dump B>" where each
parameter is one of the ~/.cache/syncevolution/*/*.before or *.after
directories.

I find it to be of variable usefulness. It is great when it works, but
in my experience it scales horribly. I have to have it completely
disabled on all my low-power systems (phones, etc) -- I have never had
it run to completion on my Jolla phone, even leaving it overnight, so I
just turn off comparison on those devices.
Even on higher power systems it sometimes gets very confused and mixes
up parts of different entries and ends up reporting all 2000 entries as
different! I have it mostly turned off except when testing to see if
changes are propagating as expected (or what changes are being lost as I
do some one-way syncs).
I think I always see "comparison was impossible" with refreshes. I
assumed that is because the databases are deleted or something (although
thinking about it further I am not sure that is a reasonable expectation).

I just use it on a laptop and it works for me, but I agree that it's
mostly a hack originating in the automated testing. There's even a bug
open for rewriting it...

There should be "before" and "after" dumps also for refreshes, so

So what is the goal of this command? Does it mean that something went
wrong but nothing important enought to break the system?
I deleted the two related to my configuration, restarted to clear the
sessions and then added again my notes taken from there

So what is the goal of this command?
It's purely informational. It's not needed for the sync to work.
I deleted the two related to my configuration, restarted to clear

entries!
Not the *backup* database. Your local *system* database still has these
140 contacts. Removing the SyncEvolution configuration does not clean
that database, because it exists independently from SyncEvolution.
So for a slow sync, the behavior quoted above is as expected.
A "--sync refresh-from-remote" would tell SyncEvolution to erase the
local contacts before the sync, so all of them then should show up as
"new" on the local side.

Not the *backup* database. Your local *system* database still has these
140 contacts. Removing the SyncEvolution configuration does not clean
that database, because it exists independently from SyncEvolution.
So for a slow sync, the behavior quoted above is as expected.
A "--sync refresh-from-remote" would tell SyncEvolution to erase the
local contacts before the sync, so all of them then should show up as
"new" on the local side.
Okai... so I first did a refresh-from-remote sync, but if I delete a
contact from my phone, a regular sync didn't delete it on the server. So
I tried with a complete reset of my config and database. I've deleted
all my contacts from the graphical app and did the slow sync. I have
always the same problem =(

So "Chloé" was considered "modified" locally and thus updated on the

shouldn't happen.

I understood that
"Comparison was impossible" if often present in the
logs, so my main problem is I can't delete a contact on my phone, sync,
and get it deleted on the server, effectively after the
refresh-from-remote sync you recommanded.

Yes, I think that is correct. I don't know why syncevolution behave like
that.

Yes, I think that is correct. I don't know why syncevolution behave like
that.
So the "Chloe" contact was the one you deleted after the
"refresh-from-remote" sync?
I bet it wasn't actually deleted when you marked it as deleted on the
phone.
Let's verify that hypothesis.
Use "syncevolution --print-items @default contacts". It'll give you an
ID string for each contact. Then use "syncevolution --export - @default
contacts <id string of Chloe>" to dump the contact to your console.
Example (for my local setup, with "addressbook" instead of
"contacts"):
$ syncevolution --print-items @default addressbook
pas-id-5406E78700000000: John Doe
$ syncevolution --export - @default addressbook pas-id-5406E78700000000

Is there anything in your "Chloe" contact that might mark it as
"deleted"?
If unsure, then dump it directly after the refresh-from-remote and again
after deleting it in the UI. If you can still dump it after deleting,
then it definitely wasn't deleted for real.

Use "syncevolution --print-items @default contacts". It'll give you an

then it definitely wasn't deleted for real.
Okay, let's try that. Firstly, I've created a contact on the server.
Then on the phone, I use a refresh-from-remote sync and your commands to
export a contact in the console:
$ syncevolution --export - @default contacts pas-id-5918A52200000119
BEGIN:VCARD

UID:pas-id-5918A52200000119
END:VCARD
Now, I delete it from the Contacts app and retry:
$ syncevolution --export - @default contacts pas-id-5918A52200000119
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
X-DELETED-AT:2017-05-14T20:47:23

As you suspected, the delete operation doesn't work properly. But there
is a second problem. Let's try a normal sync, to see what happen next:

Whatever the problem is, the contact has been updated on the server but
no information has changed. I can see it in another client
(Thunderbird). Finally, I try again a refresh-from-remote, that is
supposed to completely reset the local problem on the phone, and surprise:

The AAA contact can't be seen in the Contact app at this time! Even if
you previous command reveal it in the database:
$ syncevolution --print-items owncloud contacts
pas-id-5918A76400000233: AAA AAA
[...]
By the way I can see a lot of contacts I've deleted from the phone that
are always on the server and printed by this command.

As you suspected, the delete operation doesn't work properly.
I've never seen this X-DELETED-AT before. As you are using an Ubuntu
Phone, with sync and datastore provided by Canonical, I suggest that you
bring this up with them. This looks like an Ubuntu Phone specialty to
me.
But there
is a second problem. Let's try a normal sync, to see what happen next:

Whatever the problem is, the contact has been updated on the server but
no information has changed.
I'm not following. What problem?
If this is the first two-way sync after "deleting" the contact via the
phone UI, then the sync above makes perfect sense. The contact has been
modified (by adding the X-DELETED-AT) and that's why it gets sent to the
server, including that extension. But as it is non-standard, the server
doesn't do anything with it.
I can see it in another client
(Thunderbird). Finally, I try again a refresh-from-remote, that is
supposed to completely reset the local problem on the phone, and surprise:

it doesn't know what that property means), but the phone hides it
(because it knows the property).

Thank you for your time and your answers. I've reset the phone and the
problem is still here, so I guess I've never succeed in remove a contact
on the server from my phone. Can't be sure because all system files
haven't been reset =/
