Changed the permissions to what? As you clearly saw, the /usr/lib has got to be non-writable by everyone. You do not mention your host (omission) but for a Ubuntu and a Fedora, the /usr and the /usr/lib permissions look like that (very close actually):
socratis@VB-Ubuntu:~$ ls -al /usr
total 124
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Jul 19 2016 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Jan 19 22:12 ..
socratis@VB-Ubuntu:~$ ls -al /usr/lib
total 840
drwxr-xr-x 143 root root 4096 Jan 19 23:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Jul 19 2016 ..

The permissions are:
Code: Select all
ls -al /usr
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 sep 2 12:05 .
drwxrwxrwx 28 root root 4096 feb 21 11:12 ..

Any idea...??

Your /usr/lib directory is group/world writable. But besides that, you have a much, much bigger issue:

Your root directory is group/everyone writable!

Really, that's the problem in the end!?
There isn't solution??
Can I fix the permissions or must re-install ubuntu?

The solution was simple: sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib
Thank you for your special form of make me learn: give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for life.
