Problems migrating in django 1.5: DatabaseError: relation "auth_user" does not exist

[herrmendez]

I just installed 0.2.0 via pip and when I executed the migration I got the following error message:

Running migrations for knowledge:

• Migrating forwards to 0003_auto__add_unique_category_slug.

  knowledge:0001_initial
  FATAL ERROR - The following SQL query failed: ALTER TABLE "knowledge_question" ADD CONSTRAINT "user_id_refs_id_29c32f273c91c4b" FOREIGN KEY ("user_id") REFERENCES "auth_user" ("id") DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED;
  The error was: relation "auth_user" does not exist

Error in migration: knowledge:0001_initial
DatabaseError: relation "auth_user" does not exist

There was something funky going on there, and unfortunately I didn't have much time to dig too deep into it so I simply deleted the migrations folder and did a ./manage.py schemamigration knowledge --initial and ./manage.py migrate knowledge but I thought I should share the info.

Had this problem too, we use a custom user model. Resetting the migrations fixed it.
