  Text: error executing package DBMS_RCVMAN in target database
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Cause: Recovery Manager requires the DBMS_RCVMAN package in the
         SYS schema of the indicated database.
         Normally this package is installed during database
         creation. To re-create the package, run the files dbmsrman.sql
         and prvtrmns.plb.

   $ sqlplus sys/<pw>
   SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/dbmsrman.sql
        @?/rdbms/admin/prvtrmns.plb
