I can't drop a sequence. I get the error "cannot drop sequence <sequence name> because other objects depend on it". I've tried to use the pg_depend table to find out what object(s) depend on it, and have found nothing.

I tried drop cascade in a transaction, hoping to see a list of objects dropped in the cascade, but only got "DROP SEQUENCE".

I tried these two queries:

select * from pg_depend where objid = 1011680210;
select * from pg_depend where refobjid = 1011680210;

The first one returned one row with refobjid = 2200. That's a namespace, so this appears to be the reverse of what I want.

The second one returned two rows with objid = 1011687585 and 1011680211; OID 1011680211 is the type (in pg_type) that matches this sequence, so this also appears to be the opposite of what I want. I couldn't find OID 1011687585 anywhere.

Any hints? What type of objects can depend on a sequence? How can I find out which ones depend on this particular one?
