The problem was caused by a single perl module: perl-core/Data-Dumper-2.154.0 (the only version available) clashed with perl's new requirement for virtual/perl-Data-Dumper-2.158.0 (note the different version numbers). Using my advanced WTF-do-I-have-to-lose training I eventually deleted perl-core/Data-Dumper and then re-emerged virtual/perl-Data-Dumper. perl-cleaner is now happily doing its shtick :)
