Django name field on auth_permission too short

If the verbose_name of the table is over 80 characters the syncdb command will silently fail.

The name field on auth_permissions table is too short to store if verbose_name are that long, so it doesn't update and you cannot assign permissions.

The obvious workaround is to manually change the field length on the table.

I have opened the ticket 20728

Thanks Victor!
