The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
 clonezilla bare metal backup and recovery of disk drives

henry@polaris:~$ dpkg -l | grep clonezilla

This seems to be a bug in the clonezilla package, already reported as Bug #1579497

Try

sudo mkdir /opt
sudo dpkg --configure -a

and report the results.

This is no GUI application.
Try starting it from a terminal window (with "sudo clonezilla")
