From Heikki:
The settings table represents a hierarchical, tree structure, of the
settings. So each setting has a 'parent' setting.
If any ancestor setting is missing, settings can't be saved and you get
this message.
In my opinion this implementation is unnecessarily prone to error and we'd
be better off replacing it with simple key-value pair settings. The
hierarchy is not very useful, and to retain some kind of grouping we could
simply use a field 'type' or so.
