What does this mean?

What is the meaning of the 'D' in this line?( this was part of 'emerge -p galeon' and both the 'D' and '[2.0.1-r0]' are the same color on the display )

[ebuild UD] gnome-base/libglade-0.17-r6 [2.0.1-r0]

The man page seems to be out of date.

Thanks,

Gene

D=Downgrade emerge is proposing that you downgrade libglade from 2.0.1-r0 to 0.17-r6. So once that's clear all you have to do is understand why a downgrade has been proposed. Do you have Gnome 2 installed? If so I think I can remember seeing that galeon requires some older gnome libraries to work. Can anyone confirm?
