man emerge contains the complete information, search for "%" ;-) |

But, in a nutshell: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The parens ( ) mean the flag's state (enabled/disabled) is forced by |
| 18 |
the profile in use. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The "%" means there's a change of the flag (the flag gets deleted, or |
| 21 |
forced, or a new flag) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The "*" means the flag's state has transitioned (enabled-->disabled or |
| 24 |
vice versa) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
In your case, I'd say the explanation would be: The nls flag for that |
| 27 |
package was previously enabled (perhaps globally), but now it's forced |
| 28 |
to be disabled by the profile. |
