If you haev a deb source (list in /etc/apt/sources.list) pointing at
that one only, you should be able to do it and its companion parts with
apt-get --force-reinstall install xserver-xfree86 xlibs
(I suspect some of the others in that "kit" may be okay, but you may
have to reinstall the apps from the same version number. Luckily they
are pretty much next to each other in an aptitude listing, or will
express their complaints to a commandline apt-get.)
