I've never tried that before. Perhaps you can try an
apt-get --reinstall install [packages]
with the corrected source list.
Hopefully someone else will chime in saying if this will work or not. Since
the versions installed will still be newer than what's available in the new
sources list, I'd guess the above won't do what you want.
If you only hosed a few packages, you could try doing it by hand. If it's an
entire system, you might be shafted.
