On Django 1.8, I'm encountering this error when attempting to apply migrations on the production system. What's interesting is that it works fine on the dev system, and inspecting the django_migrations table, I don't see any (meaningful) differences between them (error text below).
There was a model added to the "catalog" application which is not being created in django_content_type. Manually migrating contenttypes individually generates the same error. -- $ python manage.py migrate Operations to perform: Synchronize unmigrated apps: staticfiles, util, treebeard, messages, office Apply all migrations: info, customers, sessions, admin, contenttypes, auth, sites, catalog, coming_soon, orders Synchronizing apps without migrations: Creating tables...
