This simply indicates a misconfiguration with your system, e.g. 
something like the pkgdb is different between outside and inside the 
chroot, or trying to mix packages that were built for a different 
prefix, or any number of other things.

I've often thought that /nonexistent probably isn't helpful here, we 
should rename it /something-is-broken-you-need-to-investigate or 
similar.
