Someone has created a trigger at database level to fire when you try to drop an objects, and that *trigger* (not your drop) is failing.

That is a standard trigger in XE, so if it's invalid, then something gone very wrong.

Is it possible you have inadvertently dropped a table called: SYSTEM.SQLPLUS_PRODUCT_PROFILE ?
