ContentTypes signals require "db" argument since Django 1.2

I've had this error while trying to re-create the database from scratch:

$ ./manage.py migrate
Running migrations for my_app:

KeyError: 'db'

The migration does not add, delete or modify contenttypes-related fields, but the model is referenced by an external model via contenttypes. As far as I understand, South should pass the database to contenttypes' signals.

I think this was a duplicate ticket of #310 which was fixed in [28ca426eb343] and [94a9f98db5d7]

I agree. Closing.
