Well, the test is bogus. On a AMD64 machine, dword has 8bytes and not 4 bytes as it is on x86. I could disable the check in src/client/main.cpp:189 but I don't know where else in the code the assumption dword == 4 bytes is made. So I'm not sure if this will work. Unfortunately I don't have a amd64 machine where I could test this. Could you download the sources (apt-get source partimage), comment out line 189 and 190 in src/client/main.cpp and recompile partimage and see if creating/restoring an image works. That would be very helpful. Most likely the resulting image won't be compatible/interchangeable with non amd64 plattforms. If you also could test this, this would be even better.
