Non-Existent Objects...Explain Please

In my database I stumbled across what Oracle refers to in its Data Dictionary views as "non-existent" objects. They show up in the OBJ$ table as TYPE 10. I first saw them referenced in the USER_DEPENDENCIES view. I had a procedure which referenced a package in the same schema. When I moved the package to a different schema an recompiled the procedure, the USER_DEPENDENCIES view says my procedure references the package in the new schema AS WELL AS the now "non-existent" package in the old schema.

What's going on here? Can anyone explain? Thanks in advance...
