Did you also look in pg_depend in all the other databases?
You could run the following in all databases:
SELECT t.relname AS catalog, d.objid AS oid_dependent
FROM pg_catalog.pg_class t JOIN
pg_catalog.pg_depend d ON (t.oid = d.classid)
WHERE refobjid = 100456;
You could also try the following in all databases:
SELECT oid, relname, relkind FROM pg_catalog.pg_class
WHERE oid IN (100738, 102333, 103442);
(hoping that some of the objects are tables or views or sequences).
