Help E:unable to rename file /cache/update.zip: Cross-device link

Newbie
The device is ASUS FonePad 7 ME175CG
My computer can run in ubuntu and win7/win10
Because the tablet can't update its firmware, I have to update it manually
I downloaded some official update packages, rename it as "update.zip" and run "fastboot flash update update.zip"
But... After sending the ota update file ,I got a error message: E:unable to rename file /cache/update.zip: Cross-device link
I have no idea on this kind of issue..

OK, here it is.
Btw I'm able to root this device by fastboot flash update command. But idk if it is helpful, thanks :)
 
sorry my linux is not very good......

where are you getting the firmware update for your tablet? and why can't you update the device, the normal way? which files are you renaming?

It's ok :) i can explain those commands:
First, I erase the cache partition by fastboot
Then, I flashed a update file from asus offical website.
After I received a error message, I tried to rename the package to update.zip by mv command
Next, I flashed again, same error.
the last command is... "I'm yelling:("

The firmware update is downloaded form the asus offical website, the correct version of this tablet(ME175CG_TW)
And the normal way should be update from the "software update" built-in system app but it failed at connecting to the server. So I can only update it from fastboot I guess.
I apologize for the mistake by calling it "me152cg", my fault :(
