This looks very much like either something in the repository
setup on your Raspberry Pi is broken or the package mirror you
use has problems. According to

  http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/dists/stable/main/binary-armhf/Packages.xz

Raspbian/stable definitely has both flex as well as bison in the
main repository:

Please refresh your local package information with "sudo apt-get
update" and retry installing flex and bison.  If that doesn't
work, please provide your repository configuration, i.e. the
contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*,
perhaps we can spot the source of your problem there.
Good catch. Raspbian and Debian now fail in identical ways.Thanks
