Description Mia Pienitz 2020-10-15 10:25:08 CEST 
Description of problem:

In the Metadate there is a subpackage defined:
%package aptitude
Summary:        aptitude compatibility with zypper
Group:          System/Packages
Requires:       perl
Requires:       zypper
BuildArch:      noarch

%description aptitude
provides compatibility to Debian's aptitude command using zypper


This is wrong. It is not a compatibility with apt and apt repositories. Zypper is neither capable of handling deb-packages nor dep-repositories.
This is just an interface for apt-users to handle zypper and rpm-repositories.

We don't have zypper 1.14.40 in mga7 nor a pkg called aptitude.

$ urpmq -Yf zypper
zypper-1.14.16-1.mga7.x86_64

$ urpmq -Yf aptitude
No package named aptitude

Oh dear, sorry.
I am tracking a bug in zypper in Cauldron and mixed different packages in the end.
