Thank you, Tom! Recently, as I wanted to drop a schema (PG 8.2), I had to wade through a number of such messages and keep dropping rows in the pg_dependency table with the OID specified in the messages. When I was finally able to drop the schema, I wanted to drop the user (who previously owned the schema), but I got the same message again. I can imagine that something may have gone wrong in the schema at the application level, but how come I am getting the same messages when trying to drop a user?
