If I have downloaded, compiled and installed an application myself, how can I tell Knoppix/Debian not to install the same application again when I do 'apt-get upgrade'?

see section 3.10 of http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ap...pt-get.en.html
You can "pin" the version you want to keep.
I have read the same how-to before. I believe it's the same how-to as the one that is on top of this forum. But somehow this pinning doesn't work here :-(
This is the problem I have:
I've downloaded the source of xdaliclock v2.20-1. I compiled it and installed it. I've add a pin for xdaliclock version 2.20-1 with a priority 100. If I understand the how-to correctly, a pin priority of 100 means that the package is installed and will not be up or downgraded. But everytime apt-get tries to upgrade xdaliclock.
Am I doing something wrong here?
