Symptoms

Compiling a procedure in one schema invalidates a procedure in another schema under the following scenario:

Both schemas have a database link that is named the same but points to different remote databases that contain a remote object named the same.

Due to package invalidation,  errors like ORA-6508, ORA-4063 or ORA-4065 can occur at run time.

ORA-04063: package body "owner.package" has errors
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called: "owner.package"
ORA-4065:  not executed, altered or dropped %s
