[SOLVED] Problem with Clonezilla v. 3.35.2-1

Hello everyone! A couple of days ago I noticed one obscure thing. In new release of Arch linux of 2020.04.01 integrated soft of Clonezilla does not working correctly. Soft working fine if you write backup with option "save local disk as image", but if you try recover it back, Clonezilla write some error like:

The first partition of disk /dev/sdc starts at .
The hidden space between MBR and 1st partition is "-1" sectors, which is smaller than the hidden data /tmp/ecryptfs_mnt.OvCUde/sdc-hidden-data-after-mbr) size "2047" sectors.
Skip restoring the hidden data between MBR and 1st partition.
*****************************************************.
*****************************************************.
Restoring partition /dev/sdc1...
Unable to find target partition "sdc1".
*****************************************************.

Check if the partition sdc1 really exists, otherwise maybe the kernel is too old

After that, the partition of my hard disk breaks.

But! My last version of live CD of Arch Linux 2020.01.01 working fine with that! Something gone wrong after update of new versions. By the way, it was on other machines, i checked it, so it's not hardware problem.
You can try install that package on your machine, and you'll take same result.

At first I thought that the problem was in the program itself, but...
Last version of Clonezilla on debian working fine, and last version our package compiled at Sat 16 Nov 2019. (you can check it with pacman -Si clonezilla)
This is interesting because Clonezilla works fine on Archlinux version 2020.01.01, and not on version 2020.04.01, although version of Clonezilla hasn’t changed in all this time.

It seems like the problem of compatibility of the program with the new kernel of the system, maybe it's time to compile a new version of the program for our distribution?
Can someone create bugreport on bugs.archlinux.org? I am not experienced enough in this matter.

UPD: So I noticed an interesting feature. If the backup is recorded on the Archlinux Assembly on 2020.01.01, it can be restored through Clonezilla on the assembly on 2020.04.01. But if you create a backup on assembly 2020.04.01, then it will not be restored anywhere. The problem occurs when the recovery image is created at last build versions of Arch

Don't do that, these are quite active boards, if you do not see a reply it's usually because people either don't know or you've provided too little details and if you care enough about your problem that you have time to feel entitled after a day of not seeing a response you'd also have time to further research an issue and provide more details on your own.

Compare version numbers between the systems/libraries of the two (three) live-systems it's quite likely that a library clonezilla uses got updated and that leading to a change in it's behaviour. Off of a random guess I'd say a change in util-linux since that got bumped to 2.35 after that date.

Seems like a truth. Moreover, I went to see the source code https://clonezilla.org/downloads/src/sourcecodes.php The last stable release of Clonezilla was in November 2019. The new version is only in an unstable release. Apparently updating the dependent libraries does not understand the scripts of the old version Clonezilla. And here we can only wait for a new release, but for now, sit on the old assembly of Live CD Arch.

FWIW these read interesting and were made after the 2.35.1 release of util-linux and read potentially related :

Oh... finally someone created bug report! Thank you for the clarification. I look forward to a upgraded version of util-linux in new release.

Btw, new version is util-linux-2.35.1-2.fc32 fixed at 4 Feb, how long compiled new versions for Arch "community" pakages?

Since this was fixed  in  a fedora specific release which has no direct relevance to Arch you'd have to wait until util-linux makes an official new release for to be picked up "automatically".
