It's a package for which the Sage distribution does not provide a method of installing it, but may provide information on system packages (example: https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/spkg/pandoc.html#spkg-pandoc) and a script for testing whether a suitable system package is present (spkg-configure).
