ContentTypeDoesNotExist thrown whenever CRUD actions are performed in admin

[jmadson@…]

Whenever I create, modify, or delete objects in the admin interface for my project I recieve the following error:

There's been an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 64, in get_response

ContentTypeDoesNotExist: ContentType does not exist for {'package__label__exact': 'myproject', 'python_module_name__exact': 'foos'}

The action always works, but this error is thrown nonetheless.

This means you haven't correct inserted into the database the metadata Django needs to keep track of your objects. Do django-admin.py sqlinitialdata <yourapp> to see what this metadata should be, and insert it yourself. (django-admin install would have done this for you, but if you're getting this message it means you didn't use install).

Thanks! Perhaps that exception should print something to that effect?
