Good Day Tommi,

Have you tried reconfiguring the locales to build the
fi_FI.UTF-8 set ?

	# dpkg-reconfigure locales

Check your locale in the first menu with Space, then select
it in the second menu, to use it as default.

Once done, you'll need to reenter your chroot for this
modification to be appropriately taken in account I believe.

Kind Regards,
