Oops, my bad. What actually gets displayed when I run apt-cache show

Description: Document (postscript, pdf) viewer Evince is a simple
multi-page document viewer. It can display and print PostScript (PS),
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), DJVU, DVI and Portable Document Format
(PDF) files. When supported by the document, it also allows searching
for text, copying text to the clipboard, hypertext navigation, and
table-of-contents bookmarks. . The PDF renderer is based on poppler.
The PS renderer uses Ghostscript. . Homepage:

interface::x11, role::program, scope::application, suite::gnome,
uitoolkit::gtk, use::viewing, works-with::text,
works-with-format::{dvi,pdf,postscript}, x11::application
I assumed that because it had an installed size: and a Filename: it was
installed.
When I run apt-get install evince I get the following:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required: kdebase-data
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
