Error Installing Packaged Applications - Apex 5

Question

Hi Folks:
I installed APEX 5 successfully. Everything seems to be running fine except I'm unable to install packaged applications.
I get a screen that looks like the following when trying to install a package application:
The text in the dropdowns for the errors begins with:
Error
The packaged application installed. However, installation of database objects and seed data has failed.
Install Summary

        p_txt_message in varchar2 )
        return varchar2
    is
        l_html_message   varchar2(32767) default p_txt_message;
        l_temp_url varchar2(32767) := null;
        l_length number;
    begin
        l_html_message := replace(l_html_message, chr(10), '<br />');
        l_html_message := replace(l_html_message, chr(13), null);
        return l_html_message;
    end conv_txt_html;
    function conv_urls_links (
        p_string in varchar2 )
        return varchar2
    is
        l_string   varchar2(32767) default p_string;
It then includes a lot more create, etc. statements that failed.
I wonder if it is some kind of permissions issue?  I ended up running @apxremov.sql   and reinstalled apex 5 again after I couldn't get the package apps to work the first time but that didn't fix anything.  I have attached a text file that has all the code from the error message.
The database I installed to is an Oracle 12c Enterprise database.
It had Oracle Apex 4.2.6 installed on it with many packaged apps (not really using them, just trialing them till 5 came out).  I ran @apxremov.sql before installing Apex 5.
Any help or ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,

Matthew,
Looking at the error file, it appears that APEX is trying to "upgrade" an existing Data Reporter instance rather than do a fresh install. It's possible (I haven't checked the code) that apexremov.sql doesn't run the packaged applications through their deinstall process, and so their supporting objects may still be present within your schema. I'd suggest removing any objects (especially tables & packages) with a name like 'EBA_DP_%' from your parsing schema, and then trying the install again.
Regards,
