It means it's already installed and whatever follows it is being pulled in by |
| 16 |
it... (or it is in the PDEPEND/postdepend of what follows it). This |
| 17 |
particular package is actually in PDEPEND of dev-lang/perl. It should be |
| 18 |
followed by at least one line that says [merge] and due to --tree this shows |
| 19 |
what pulls that in. |

I do realize that the output when adding --tree to emerge isn't particular |
| 22 |
well documented (or easy to document) so interpreting it does require a bit |
| 23 |
of guessing (or looking at the ebuilds)... |
