that's the problem, in adb shell I ran:

pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS
pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

and sync was fixed.

(NOTE this deny permission did get copied to a new phone by account setup and it had the same problem!)

I hope this helps someone! this was a weird one!

ctrl-c on the laptop to stop the log, and now on the laptop run:
adb shell

in the shell, run: (with what ever package threw the error for you)
dumpsys package com.google.android.gms | grep -i false

I saw this at the bottom:
android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS: granted=false, flags=[ USER_SET|GRANTED_BY_DEFAULT]
android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS: granted=false, flags=[ USER_SET|GRANTED_BY_DEFAULT]

how to fix contact sync not working on android
or contact sync says it need contacts permission
you will need USB debugging enabled and ADB on a laptop

enable usb debugging, connect to linux laptop, run:
adb logcat

(this will display the live logs)

on the phone try to sync (disable and enable contact sync) and follow the logs,
I got an error: com.google.android.gms did not have contact permission
gms is a hidden system app so it does not show up on the phone at all

FYI Steam linux users. some steam titles will only launch from the default library (Half Life is one).
So if you have a second SSD for steam installs and one wont run, try installing it in the default library.
