Assuming you’re actually using Rasberry Pi OS, it’s got a few small differences to normal Debian, but if you remove the buster-backports repo from /etc/apt/sources-list.d then you should be able to use normal apt (rather than apt-get, as it handles a good few cases which cause apt-get to fail) to update and upgrade okay.

I tried removing the backports, but still got errors. Then I noticed that I was using Bytemark mirrors. I removed them and most of the problems vanished. Seems that Oh No Mart are continuing their fall from grace.
Thanks for the tip about using apt instead of apt-get. I’ll give that a spin.
