Because that's where it caches stuff during installation.

The answer to the first question is, of course, yes (otherwise it wouldn't throw an error ). The second question is irrelevant.

The card's filesystem is corrupted (there are a number of ways this could have happened). It's time to backup anything on it that you need and reformat. You can reformat it either with the built-in filemanager (you'll have to disable virtual memory first, if you have it enabled, though), or by plugging the card into a card reader of some kind and reformatting it with a computer.
