Try installing the package "locales" - although this message is harmless.

The kernel module only creates the necessary device entry in /dev, not
in /my/new/chroot/dev/ where your chrooted programs try to access it.

One possibility would be to do a "mount -bind /dev /my/new/chroot/dev"
or maybe even better by just creating the corresponding device entry
with "mknod".
