    21 The migration should fail.
     22The migration fails with the following error (for an app called `web`, with a model called `Entity` with a field called `attribute` for example):
     23
     24 ```
     25Running migrations:
     26  Applying contenttypes.0001_initial... OK
     27  ...
     28  Applying sessions.0001_initial... OK
     29  Applying web.0001_initial... OK
     30  Applying web.0002_remove_entity_attribute...Traceback (most recent call last):

     40The above steps create a set of migrations where at the end a `RemoveField` migration is produced. Applying this migration fails for fields which had `db_index=True`. The example I attached uses a SlugField where `db_index` defaults to `True`, setting this parameter to False will apply the migration without this error.

     42I reproduced the error with the following field types: TextField, IntegerField, SlugField, CharField, URLField
