Hi, and thanks for helping out. It's not working :(
I tried:
Package: *
Pin: origin ""
Pin-Priority: 1001

Also tried: Pin: origin

apt-cache policy xchat; prints a priority of 500 for both file and
http. I took a look at the apt-howto and then looked at the following
file:
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-
i386_Packages

This file is supposed to contain:
     *Archive: stable
     Version: 2.2r3
     *Component: main
     *Origin: Debian
     *Label: Debian
     Architecture: i386

But the *'d info is missing.


I also took a look at this file:
/var/lib/apt/lists/_usr_share_debian_disc1_dists_etch_main_binary-
i386_Packages

It has only this info:

Package: adduser
Priority: important
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 900
Maintainer: Debian Adduser Developers <adduser-
devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Version: 3.102

Note that this meta-data lacks an information regarding origin (http/
file/ftp) is missing? Since, Pin: release/origin need to be fed
parameters (Label, Archive, Origin) to filter on, i guess that
is the reason why it doesn't work??

This didn't work either :(

darkstar> cat /etc/modprobe.d/blockedMods
install fan       /bin/true
install thermal   /bin/true
install processor /bin/true

Also, contents of: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

blacklist fan
blacklist thermal
blacklist processor
