Łukasz Rekucki nobody "(This ticket is split from #17758) The result of this functions depends on the order of aliases for given DB signature (which in turn depends on the order in settings.DATABASES dict) - i.e. if you have a DB with aliases [""A"", ""B""] and ""A"" depends on ""B"" then it will raise an error. If the alias list is [""B"", ""A""] it will pass. Patch with tests provided in https://github.com/django/django/pull/131" Bug closed Testing framework 1.3 Normal fixed Ready for checkin 1 0 0 0 0 0
