Which app will it not install?

Well I gave up with the backups, did a reflash and tried to download from the market. But I donload avast mobile security and when it installs, this error appears:
--------------------------
Error
Package file is invalid.
--------------------------
No, it wasn't a system app.

No, I don't have any copies of avast on my device.
I noticed that the errors possibly started occurring when the android market updated to the play store (because the gapps I got came with the old market)
The error occurs with other apps too. I'm gonna try backing up my apps and doing the reflash but not installing any apps until the market updates to the play store.

If you're getting the Package File Invalid error, try downloading an app called Market Fix. Something about the new market acts up with some of the Roms and it fails to "cache" the download package file before installing.
I see you have been dealing with this issue to some extent for a while.
Have you tried a new rom or a reflash? (with proper backing up and wiping of course)
I tried a reflash. I'm thinking about trying another ROM but I'm afraid I would break my cache because it's on the sd card and I need to wipe the cache.

I really dont think you need to worry about cache that much.
I clean mine out every 3 days using CacheCleaner NG.
What issues are you having with this cache move?
Why do you have to wipe the sd card with a rom flash?
And why are you worried about cache?

Well I don't need to wipe my sd card (that was a typo). I'm worried about wiping my cache because my recovery isn't designed to wipe caches on the sd card, so I'm worried that might break something. The issue with the cache move is that I don't know how to move it back.
nothing if its on your sd card....I really wouldn't worry about cache....cache will be rebuilt by the system if erased. Like I said, I wipe mine every 3 days with that app I posted.
No big deal

lots of bugs coud happen. cache is a temporary holding place of data. you need to wipe both dalvik cache and cache among others in order for you to flash a rom. a rom needs a very clean environment to install into. the cleaner the better.
not familiar with marketfix as to what or how it moved cache. but you should be fine by a normal wipe in recovery and flashing a rom. just make sure that you do a nandroid backup first.

Would flashing a new rom make a new cache in internal memory and the cache on sd card would just be unused stuff?
It's on the first post, BobZhome's CM7.2 RC1, and I think the backup problem wasn't rom specific, but the package invalid only appeared on bobZhome's ROM.
