MohammadAG: It didn't really seem like pinning the power kernel packages was the right way to get rid of aptitude complaining about the dependencies that hostmode-gui has to that hostmode kernel. I didn't try it but that's what I read from others. I know its a beta and all but it felt right to use the power kernel 44 instead. What do you think would be best, wait for a new package from you that has deps to power kernel or if you have an idea on something else I can do in the meantime (just to get rid of the aptitude dependency nag).
