Bug Description

Xubuntu 14.04.2 x86_64
Clonezilla 3.5.2-2

Clonezilla supports parallel bzip2 compression (-z2p option) which requires pbzip2 but it is not a dependency:

dpkg-query -s clonezilla
Package: clonezilla
Status: install ok installed
Priority: extra
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 2440
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <email address hidden>
Architecture: all
Version: 3.5.2-2
Depends: drbl, file, pigz
Recommends: partclone, partimage
Suggests: openssh-client, cifs-utils
Conffiles:
 /etc/drbl/drbl-ocs.conf 0fd720d7b1e11eb75b33c195ef5b7f8e
Description: bare metal backup and recovery of disk drives
 Clonezilla is an OpenSource clone system (OCS) solution with
 unicasting and multicasting.
 .
 Clonezilla, based on drbl, partclone and udpcast, allows you to do
 bare metal backup and recovery. This package provides Clonezilla SE
 (server edition) which is for massive deployment: it can clone many
 (40 plus!) computers simultaneously.
 .
 Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This
 increases the clone efficiency. At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla
 SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about
 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via
 multicasting.

Installing Clonezilla and attempting to create a partition image using parallel bzip2 compression fails with the following error:

/usr/share/drbl/sbin/ocs-functions: line 1172: pbzip2: command not found

Installing pbzip2 (apt-get install pbzip2) corrects the problem.

NOTE TO BUG TRIAGERS - The presence of this bug can be easily verified with the following terminal command so don't waste my time asking "IS THIS STILL A PROBLEM IN THE CURRENT RELEASE?":

dpkg-query -s clonezilla | grep -q pbzip2 || echo "NOT FIXED YET"
