Fix Conflicting migrations detected in Django1.9

Question

I updated django-dynamic-model repository to support Django 1.9. I got this error:

CommandError: 

Conflicting migrations detected; multiple leaf nodes in the migration
graph: (0001_initial, 0002_auto__add_field_dynamicschemafield_extra in
dynamicmodel).
To fix them run 'python manage.py makemigrations --merge'

After running python manage.py makemigrations --merge, I got another error:

 File "/local/lib/python2.7/sitepackages/django/core/management/__init__.py",  
line 353, in execute_from_command_line

 raise ValueError("Could not find common ancestor of %s" % migration_names)


 ValueError: Could not find common ancestor of set([u'0001_initial', u'0002_auto__add_field_dynamicschemafield_extra']). 

Help me to find the solution.

The migrations need to have "straight" dependency chain, i.e. migration 0003 needs to depend on migration 0002, and 0002 on 0001.

You need to define this in the 0003_third.py like this:

class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    dependencies = [
        ('modulename', '0002_second'),
    ]
