Had the same error while transferring my 3.7.6 database to a new 4.4.0 install.

Hi all,

I was able to reproduce this error when running migrations directly from NetBox 3.7.8 to 4.4.0. This does appear to be a bug in the migration path, even though a direct upgrade should be supported.

I’ve opened issue #20290 - Upgrade from v3.7.8 to v4.4.0 fails on migration users.0005_alter_user_table (core_objecttype missing) to track this.

Thanks for raising it.
