Not really sure what to use as subject here, or whether this qualifies to be called a bug, but I don't think it belongs on django-users due to being an issue in Django itself so I figured I'd ask here before opening a ticket.
So, we have a project that doesn't use contrib.auth, and it doesn't use contrib.admin, it does, however, use contrib.contenttypes.generic. And c.c.generic imports InlineModelAdmin and flatten_fieldsets from contrib.admin.options, which does some more imports which down the line causes various models to be imported from contrib.auth.models, and this in turn causes the auth models to be registered in AppCache, and thus to be found by db.models.Options' get_all_related_objects() which is used by db.models.deletion.Collector.collect(). This hasn't caused us any trouble so far, but now that we needed to delete some stale ContentTypes we suddenly got weird crashes related to contrib.auth tables not existing when delete() tried to find foreign keys pointing to ContentType. I've tested moving the admin related bits from contenttypes/generic.py to contenttypes/admin.py, which seems to have fixed our immediate problem, but haven't really tested if it breaks anything else. And I guess this could be considered a too obscure corner case to care about, but would appreciate some feedback anyway. -- Jens Ådne Rydland -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
