How to Switch Packages to Different Repository?

I installed gnome-shell from a 3rd party repository a while ago, but now it's in the official repository. How do I switch it and all it's dependencies to the official repository? I tried removing the other PPA and apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, but it doesn't seem to detect any change. What do I do?

Use ppa-purge (not installed by default) to disable the PPA, that will automatically revert your packages to the official versions.
