Bugzilla Bug 25571

dev-libs/libusb and sys-apps/usbutils create /usr/lib/libusb.so and
/usr/include/usb.h, but the library from usbutils is very incomplete from libusb
one, but as usbutils is required (by hotplug at least), gphoto (and others)
which need libusb, can't work anymore. I did not try if lsusb works with libusb.

yeah, i just noticed this problem too while debugging problems with usb support
with libgphoto2.

i wonder if the authors are aware of this.

i noticed that redhat doesn't distribute /usr/lib/libusb* for usbutils to avoid
the conflict. it seems also that lsusb and usbmodules does not use libusb.so
dynamically (at least not according to ldd).

so i think we should get rid of /usr/lib/libusb.* for usbutils for consistancy.
i don't see the advantage of having both. the only other thing apart from
hotplug that depends on usbutils is usbd. i don't know if that uses libusb.so
or not though.

i've gone ahead and made a new revision of ubsutils that has the libusb stuff
removed. also a new revision of dev-libs/libusb that is exactly the same, but
will force people to merge libusb again to make sure those files belong to
libusb
