South error on migration with custom user model

[thorin-schiffer]

Hey folks,

while trying to migrate accounts app with

./manage.py migrate accounts

I get following error:

ValueError: Cannot successfully create field 'user' for model 'transfer': "The model 'sevenskillsuser' from the app 'users' is not available in this migration.".

'users.SevenSkillsUser' is the custom user model, inherited from auth.AbstractUser.

Django 1.6.7, accounts 0.4, south 1.0.0

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Workaround is to turn off south migrations for accounts app in settings.py:

SOUTH_MIGRATION_MODULES = {
    'accounts': 'ignore',
}

It won't change much, because there is only initial migration in accounts app.
