According to the MySQL manual "references" is a clause in the
"alter table" syntax, so it is indeed a reserved word. I'll add this
to the documentation as it is all too easy to get trapped here.

Unfortunately RefDB has to make do without a Debian maintainer. We
can't update the .debs unless someone "in the know"
volunteers. However, the svn version or the latest prerelease should
work fine. RefDB does not install stuff in weird places, and a "make
uninstall" should remove most traces of it from your system if you
ever want to get rid of it.
