Django 1.8 migrate: django_content_type does not exist
Here's what I found/did. I am using django 1.8.13 and python 2.7. The problem did not occur for Sqlite. It did occur for PostgreSQL. 
I have an app the uses a GenericForeignKey (which relies on Contenttypes). I have another app that has a model that is linked to the first app via the GenericForeignKey. If I run makemigrations for both these apps, then migrate works.
I just upgraded my django from 1.7.1 to 1.8.4. I tried to run python manage.py migrate but I got this error:
django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "django_content_type" does not exist
I dropped my database, created a new one, and ran the command again. But I get the same error. Am I missing something? Do I need to do something for upgrading my django?
EDIT:
I downgraded back to 1.7.1 and it works. Is there a way to fix it for 1.8.4?
