Django - No such table: main.auth_user__old

Get rid of this issue easily maintaining the following steps:

1. keep django version 2.1.5 (the issue addressed in this version) pip install django==2.1.5
2. Delete the SQLite db
3. Migrate again python manage.py makemigrations and then python manage.py migrate
4. Start the server python manage.py runserver

DONE!

I just came across this myself, it looks to be related to https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29182. For now, you can just downgrade your version of sqlite to a version prior to 2.6 (e.g. 2.5.1)

Just did this and it resolved the problem:

pip install Django --upgrade

Then:

python manage.py migrate

python manage.py makemigrations app

python manage.py migrate
