Update the package database directory's timestamps when rebuilding the package cache.

I was seeing many "WARNING: cache is out of date" errors during validation
claiming that my package cache was out of date. This patch eliminates those
errors by ensuring that when we rebuild the package cache, the modification time
of the directory containing the package database is set to be the same as the
modification time of the cache.
