“No installed app with label 'admin'” running Django migration. The app is installed correctly

Question

I am trying to use admin.LogEntry objects during a datamigration on Django 1.7

The \'django.contrib.admin\' app is listed on INSTALLED_APPS

Answer 1

I don't know the exact cause for this. Will have to dig into the source code. but for now a workaround is add ('admin', 'name_of_last_migration_in_admin_app') to the dependencies and the migrations shall go alright.
