Those are packages which you have built yourself (local) or which are
no longer in the repositories listed in /etc/apt/sources.list, or which
are in a repository which you have removed from that list (obsolete in
both cases).

Only by restoring the lines which you removed
from /etc/apt/sources.list, if that was the case.
What are the packages? Do you still need them? Are any of them listed
in the output of the 'deborphan' command?
