The upstream developers created a wrapper for this called libusb-compat The plan is to replace the old unmaintained libusb 0.1.x with the new maintained one. The libusb1 package will die and will be replaced by the libusb package which moves to 1.x series. A new package libusb-compat will be created which support old programs that are not yet libusb 1.x ready. All packages which still need the old functions should be rebuilt against libusb-compat. Hope this clears some things. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
