dbca fails with "Cannot create a container database from non Container Database template."

Hi,

I am creating a CDB, using the dbca. After 10 secs it says "Cannot create a container database from non Container Database template." and no further hints as to why.

It is Oracle 12c, Restart (single instance with grid), using File System (not ASM).

The template (*.dbc) is modified to change some {ORACLE_BASE} paths to their provisioned mount point directory.

I created a template "OraDBaaS" using the dbca GUI, so I have a *.dbc and *.dfb file (referenced in the *.dbc).

The template only differs from the default General_Purpose.dbc in the locations (ORACLE_BASE) that have been replaced by actual existing/writable mount point directories.
