No more explicit error messages?

This is harmless noise that Perl spits out.  Either export LC_ALL=C or
install and configure the locales package in the chroot to avoid it.

No disaster either, this can be avoided by mounting /dev/pts inside
the chroot.  I do

# mount -t devpts devpts /path/to/chroot/dev/pts

before chrooting.
