Hi Thomas, Could you please send the full acknowledgement message to <ripe-dbm@ripe.net>, so that we can track the problem. Thanks, Engin Gunduz RIPE NCC Database Group On Mon, 18 Jun 2001, Thomas C. Knoeller wrote:

Howdy,

Sorry to waste bandwidth, but I was wondering if someone could explain to me this error I am getting while trying to update an object in the ripe database.

I am updating a maintainer object, and it seems to get past the authentication state (pgp auth), and the parsing state, but gives me the error:

==== BEGIN PGP SIGNED PART (keyID(s): C9DD67B0) ====

Update FAILED: [mntner] GBLX-RIPE-MNT ***Error: Object is referenced from other objects ==== END PGP SIGNED PART ====

Since this is the maintainer object for the rest of my objects in the database, I would think having it references from other objects would be a good thing. Can you help me understand what I am missing here?

Thanks, -Tom
