Repository Install NLS error?

Question

Repository Install fails with "CDR-2144: This process has been aborted". Great.
There is a log at D:\OraNT\RepAdm61\logs\ckPrereq.log that states "IMP-00016: required character ser conversion ( type 31 to 871 ) not supported."
31 & 871!?!?!
Various Oracle registry entries for NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8IS08859P1 exist.
The environmental variable NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 requested for the OID service start seems to make no difference whether it exists or not.
Any suggestions?

Check out Note 353815.1
Title: Package Body ''Scm_admin.Jr_reg_io'' Has Errors After

I have found that of the problems like this are due to the permissions not being granted by SYS to the repos owner.
As SYS
create user owner identified by owner default tablespace users
temporary tablespace temp;
Run this file as SYS
@ D:\Designer_Home\Des1012\repadm61\UTL\CKROROLE.SQL
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_LOCK TO owner;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_PIPE TO owner;
GRANT CREATE TABLE TO owner;
GRANT CREATE VIEW TO owner;
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO owner;
GRANT CREATE SYNONYM TO owner;
GRANT CREATE SEQUENCE TO owner;
GRANT SELECT ON sys.v_$nls_parameters TO owner WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT SELECT on sys.V_$PARAMETER TO owner;
GRANT SELECT ON dba_rollback_segs TO owner;
GRANT SELECT ON dba_segments TO owner;
GRANT CREATE ANY SYNONYM TO owner;
GRANT DROP ANY SYNONYM TO owner;
GRANT CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO owner;
GRANT DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM TO owner;
GRANT ck_oracle_repos_owner to owner;
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO owner;
GRANT dba TO owner;
(If you want Row Level Security (RLS) on)
GRANT execute on dbms_rls to owner;
