Hmm, on my box it didn't force the re-install. The package is listed as
1.03, not 1.03-r1. Does this mean I have r1 but it just lists it wrong
because I did that ebuild digest thing? See log below:

pacman ~ # equery list perl-cleaner
[ Searching for package 'perl-cleaner' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ] app-admin/perl-cleaner-1.03 (0)
pacman ~ # rm /usr/portage/distfiles/perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz
pacman ~ # emerge --oneshot --update app-admin/perl-cleaner
