The above looks noisy to me. I suggest removing those commented out
entries to simplify.

Okay. kartolo.sby.datautama.net.id appears to be an up to date
mirror. Looks okay.

Wheezy backports is okay.

When tracking down installation errors I am always suspicious of third

that out while you are debugging the current problem.

Yay! Backports! :-)

What is your output for this? Here is what it should show.
$ apt-cache policy libcurl4-openssl-dev librtmp-dev

Your previous error said it could not install librtmp-dev as a
dependency. But it should be in the archive right next to it.

Okay. All good! Backports should be okay. I was worried because
people sometimes do really scary things. But emacs from backports
should be just fine.
