[Python-modules-team] Bug#804779: django-openid-auth: Breaks database migrations with django1.8

[Neil Williams]

Source: django-openid-auth
Version: 0.5-2.1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

In django1.8, django.contrib.auth has gained a set of database migrations. As a
direct result, django-openid-auth causes projects to fail to install, independent
of any changes required within that package for django1.8 itself.

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "auth_user" does not exist

auth_user is part of the ForeignKey relationship to django.contrib.auth but
as django_openid_auth has no migrations, django_openid_auth now gets setup
*before* auth - in the Running deferred SQL... support which itself is
determined by the Synchronize unmigrated apps: list. 'auth' no longer exists
in that list in django1.8 but django_openid_auth depends on auth.

The problem also prevents any application using django_openid_auth from running
unit tests using django1.8.

The migration required for django_openid_auth involves three fields, Association,
Nonce and UserOpenID.

django_openid_auth has no project or django settings in the source, so this migration
needs to be created externally and added to the source code. 

In addition, existing apps using django_openid_auth are likely to need to *fake* the
initial migration.

I have a migration file which is in testing and I will attach it to this bug report in
due course.
