cannot rm file

[Brian Stults <bstults@soc.ufl.edu>]

I cannot upgrade libasound2 because it is trying to overwrite a file 
called /usr/share/alsa/cards/ICH.conf.  When I try to remove the file as 
root, I get this:

rm: cannot lstat `/usr/share/alsa/cards/ICH.conf': Permission denied

When I try to ls the directory as root, I get this:

ls: /usr/share/alsa/cards/ICH.conf: Permission denied

I have no idea what to do or what might be causing this.  Any suggestions?
