Cannot drop object?

Question

I am simply following the CBT nuggets fundamentals course and did the following:
create sequence seq_int_by1
INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 MINVALUE 1;
create sequence SEQ_testsequence
increment by 100 start with 1000
maxvalue 100000 minvalue 1000 cache 20;
rename seq_testsequence to seq_junkme;
drop sequence seq_junkme;
Everything works except the last statement for which i get the following error:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-20000: Cannot drop Object
ORA-06512: at line 2
00604. 00000 - "error occurred at recursive SQL level %s"
*Cause:    An error occurred while processing a recursive SQL statement
(a statement applying to internal dictionary tables).
*Action:   If the situation described in the next error on the stack
can be corrected, do so; otherwise contact Oracle Support.
Any ideas why i cannot drop this sequence?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

what is your db version?
I am able to do (below on 10g)
test1> create sequence seq_int_by1
INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 MINVALUE 1;
create sequence SEQ_testsequence
increment by 100 start with 1000
maxvalue 100000 minvalue 1000 cache 20;
rename seq_testsequence to seq_junkme; 2
Sequence created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.01
test1> GEM@ZBKTST1> 2 3
Sequence created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.01
test1> drop sequence seq_junkme;
Sequence dropped.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.01
