Why? There is probably an explanation in the logs. Check
/var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/debug and the output from
"dmesg".

It seems as if you /usr file system is broken. Getting a broken /usr is
not very common. Usually a file system gets broken when there have been
writes to the file system that wasn't completed. However, /usr is a
partition which does not get many changes unlike other partitions
like /home, /tmp or /var/tmp.
