Based on what I read of the thread, that package is
progress-linux-container.
$ apt-cache policy progress-linux-container
progress-linux-container:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 20210101-2
Version table:

progress-linux-container is a package in Debian, and at least at a
glance, is apparently meant for installing on a Debian system. (Or else
it made it from the downstream distribution into upstream Debian by
mistake, somehow.)
It's just not meant for installing on a host system; it's meant for
installing only inside a container.
What resulted in it being installed in the OP's case is unclear (the OP
has said he doesn't know), but at least at a glance it doesn't look like
this is a case of mixing different operating systems, unless I'm
misunderstanding what you mean by that.
