Are you working in a chroot environment?

Check the output of "df -h", maybe one of your partitions is full.

If you still have enough space on all relevant partitions then post the
output of

ls -ld /usr/lib/xorg/modules /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so
lsattr -d /usr/lib/xorg/modules /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so
file /usr/lib/xorg/modules /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so
