You will have to find the actual local repos, and put them in manually. 
   I would disable GDM and see what you can do from the cli to get the 
packages back.  Jump into /etc/apt with nano and clean up sources.list 
to start.  If you have a LiveCD or other working system, you can use the 
GUI "Software Sources" to "select Server" and choose other to find the 
closest.  The other commands you may need are "sudo apt-get update" 
"sudo apt-get upgrade" and "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to fix broken 
packages.
