After upgrading my Nexus 5 to vanilla Lollipop a few days ago, I'm no longer able to assign pictures to my contacts. I can tap "Choose photo" and select a picture, but when I confirm I get the error "No pictures are available on the phone". How can this happen? It doesn't make any sense. I already tried wiping cache from recovery because some people say that it can fix some upgrade problems, but that didn't solve anything for me.

I've got the same problem. It seems a proper bug. I've opened an issue on android. – LeftyX Nov 21 '14 at 13:46

You need to have a gallery app installed like the default "Gallery" or "QuickPic" app.
I had the same issue since "Gallery" doesn't come with Android 5.0 Lollipop, only "Photos" (which I disabled since I don't use Google+)

I was able to browse through my photos but after selecting the photo the error popped up. I was able to resolve it by installing a third-party photo editor. – Pieter Dec 11 '14 at 20:50
