The entry in sources.list uses

  deb http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/raspbian/raspbian/ buster...
  deb-src http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/raspbian/raspbian/ buster...
  #deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster...
  #deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster...

When it worked what I did different was have the git clone of Emacs on
file system before calling 'sudo apt build-dep emacs', I also had
firefox installed which might have put in place the dependencies now
complained about.  It worked the first time, but not after reflash then
the second.

I had to reflash the RPi4B because the first experience update actually
errored and failed due to lag reaching raspberrypi.org, but the UI put
on a cheerful OK button to reboot.  That I didn't do.  

Although I pointed at a closer mirror and did the update again before
first reboot it bugged me until xload registered 50x plus when I decided
to reflash.  My RPi4B came in a box without electrostatic bag which was
disappointing.  The paperwork in the box shows a diagram of the RPi4B in
an electrostatic bag.

Before the second try, I also had commented out in 

  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list

  #deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ buster
  #deb-src http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ buster main

uncommenting those, now, gives me 56 upgrades and 1 new package.  But so
slow to update

looks like raspberrypi needs to fan out to cdns in regions.  

I uncomment in /etc/apt/sources.list

  deb http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster...
  deb-src http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/ buster...

that does not give me more packages to upgrade.

Now, I am able to run 'apt build-dep emacs' successfully.  

The content
from

  http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/

was needed.

Thanks YK for the push in the right direction!
