Django Migrations - Relation Already Exists

[Rick Weinberger]

I posted the same question on stack overflow, here:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29830928/django-db-utils-programmingerror-relation-already-exists

I basically can't figure out how to get my app to migrate, and I can't use syncdb, because I inherit from contrib.auth.  I also can't find any documentation on the issue (closest I can find assumes I used to use South, which I did not) and searches for others with similar issues never seems to find my exact case.  Does anyone know where I can at least look for more information, if not how to fix it outright?

I'm a newbie here so be careful.

I believe you can use
manage.py migrate --fake
That works for me.

I'm not a newbie. Just avoid Django (South) migrations and syncdb. 

My advice - generate complete SQL for your project (based on migrations or sql and sqlindexes commands), move changes to reliable tool (i.e. Liquibase) as an initial migration, tune changesets if needed, and forget about builtins.
