This issue is duplicated by:

~~MBS-3017~~ Edit failed dependency by MotBot for no obvious reason

Description

« Hide

The problematic edit:
http://musicbrainz.org/edit/14890478

ModBod rejected the edit with this status:
Failed dependency
This edit failed either because an entity it was modifying no longer exists, or the entity can not be modified in this manner anymore.

ModBot note:
An artist that is used in the new artist credits has been deleted

In fact the artist Handel does not exist anymore. It has been probably merged by this edit:
http://musicbrainz.org/edit/14823063

but in the rejected edit I changed only track titles not artists or artist credits so it should have not been rejected.

This might be a duplicate of ~~MBS-3017~~, but since there's no obvious reason why that one failed, I can't be sure.

Well, it was modifying the track; and the artist credit is an attribute of the track; so if that artist it was pointing to is gone - perhaps that's an issue.

An interesting question is whether this edit would have succeeded were you not modifying the track's title

Fixed, and available for testing in all good test servers near you!

Presumably this fix isn't live yet which explains why I have also fallen foul of this bug today? http://musicbrainz.org/edit/14973786

Indeed, this fix will go out today, if all goes to plan!
