Next time, if someone asks for output from commands please take care
that you do it before resolving the problem.  Otherwise the output is
useless.

In any case, it is clear now that the file in question was immutable.
Immutable is an attribute intended to prevent potentially
indiscriminant actions from removing or modifying certain files.  Use
of 'rm -f' is a potentially indiscriminant action and therefore is not
a bug that this command will not remove an immutable file, even when
asked specially to act on that file.

 status invalid

This is not the forum to explain further.  If you like more
information please ask on one of the support channels at
<http://www.ubuntu.com/support>, perhaps IRC or web forums.

This is absolutely not a bug.
