Hi, there seems to be at least two options for this:

- after removing the repository, run in terminal:

$ sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions

$ apt-show-versions | grep 'No available'

- or while still having the repository available, in Synaptic, use the "Origin"
  filter

Haven't tested these myself, found on (quite old) ubuntuforums archive. Worth a
shot, still.
