6408	manage.py syncdb throwing error due content_types	crybaby	nobody	"I have django '''dev version 6941'''.

There seems to be a problem with manage.py line when I do python

{{{
'''manage.py syncdb''':
execute_manager(settings)


}}}
It creates the tables and but fails to populate initial data.

I have commented out this from settings.py,
#'django.contrib.contenttypes',

and syncdb and fixtures are working.

I am currently running '''python 2.4.3 on Fedora 6 and django svn revision # 6980'''.
