What do you get when running

  lsattr / | grep bin

?

It might be that your system has been compromised and the hacker
tries to protect /bin from being modified. Take a good look at all
your security relevant installed packages with

  rpm -qa --last | less
  rpm -qa | xargs -n 1 -t rpm -V &> rpm-Va.txt
  less rpm-Va.txt
