Why can't I rename package in intellij idea?

Why can't I change package name in intellij idea?

But when I select Refactor -> Rename I wind up with the dialog window:

then I select Rename current, in the next window I enter desired package name:

and then, no matters whether I click Refactor or Preview button, nothing happens. Nothing at all: no errors, no warnings, no actions. Why can't I rename this package?

Solution
