@hippiecool @Sharif

I have found a solution.
Indeed one of the issue was the database ownership as @Sharif pointed out

sudo -u postgres psql -d carbonio-message-dispatcher-db -c 'REASSIGN OWNED BY carbonio_adm TO "carbonio-message-dispatcher-db";'

This solved most of the services issue, but the "xmpp_server" was still down.

During some of the past apt upgrades, the installer detected that /etc/carbonio/message-dispatcher/mongooseim.toml had been modified at some point. When prompted whether to overwrite it with the new maintainer's version or keep the existing one, the system defaulted to keeping the old file.

Because Carbonio CE updated the MongooseIM binary to version 6.6 but left behind the old 5.x configuration file, the engine is now trying to parse deprecated TOML arrays and instantly crashing.

The FIX:

We need to replace the outdated configuration file with the correct version shipped by the package distributor, and then let Carbonio re-inject your database credentials into it.

Step 1: Locate and replace the configuration file Navigate to the configuration directory and look for the package manager's fresh copy (usually appended with .dpkg-dist or .dpkg-new).

cd /etc/carbonio/message-dispatcher/

# Backup the broken file
mv mongooseim.toml mongooseim.toml.broken

# Overwrite it with the fresh distributor template
cp mongooseim.toml.dpkg-dist mongooseim.toml

# Ensure correct permissions
chown carbonio-message-dispatcher:carbonio-message-dispatcher mongooseim.toml

But now manually edit the file to copy over the credentials:
I have copied over the following:

password = "<db-password>"
username = "<api-username>"
password = "<api-password>"

...but this is still not all - we need to instruct mongooseim how to listen

Edit the mongooseim.toml

remove line rdbms_server_type = "pgsql"

overwrite  [listen.http.handlers.mod_websockets]
with
[listen.http.handlers.mongoose_websocket_handler]
Save the file and test your new config

systemctl restart carbonio-message-dispatcher
systemctl restart carbonio-ws-collaboration

# Wait 10 seconds for the mesh network to sync, then run:
curl -s  http://127.78.0.4:10000/health  | jq

 
It worked for me

root@carbonio:/etc/carbonio/message-dispatcher# curl -s  http://127.78.0.4:10000/health  | jq
{
  "isLive": true,
  "status": "ok",
  "dependencies": [
    {
      "name": "database",
      "isHealthy": true
    },
    {
      "name": "authentication_service",
      "isHealthy": true
    },
    {
      "name": "profiling_service",
      "isHealthy": true
    },
    {
      "name": "xmpp_server",
      "isHealthy": true
    },
    {
      "name": "event_dispatcher",
      "isHealthy": true
    },
    {
      "name": "storage_service",
      "isHealthy": true
    },
    {
      "name": "previewer_service",
      "isHealthy": true
    },
    {
      "name": "videoserver_service",
      "isHealthy": true
    }
  ]
}

...and this solved the chat issue
