This is a read-write permission error. Fix this by changing the "wp-content" folder's permissions to 755.
If this doesn't work checked the wp-config.php file and if it's not already defined, add
define('WP_TEMP_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/');

My temp dir was set to the wp-content/uploads folder and both plugin and Wordpress updates were failing. Changing it to the suggested value fixed it... not sure why, but thanks! Commented May 22, 2017 at 0:07

1755 wasn't enough - since my WP_TEMP_DIR was already set to wp-content/uploads I used
sudo chmod 775 wp-content/uploadsCommented Jul 3, 2019 at 15:50 -
I created a dummy folder 'wp-content/temp' so that any temporary files will not mess the wp-content directory.– MaXi32Commented Jan 7, 2020 at 15:43

Note that if the temp directory is defined otherwise further down in the wp-config.php file, the later definition must either be changed to the above, or deleted.
This arose in my installation which started as a local Bitnami Wordpress install, but kept the same temp directory (pointing to my C: drive). I had placed the above code at the top of the file, but it was being superceded by the later temp folder definition that I was unaware of.
there are already Define Temp code in my wp-config.php file i just remove it and it work for me.
