flameeyes:
- Why did you force udev to downgrade to the old libusb?
- Does it not work with libusb-compat?

zzam:
- why aren't you using virtual/libusb (with a slot dep).

I noticed this while trying to find out what the heck happened with ekeyd: udev checks explicitly for the libusb:0 support, and fails with just libusb:1 installed… I didn't check with -compat (after the ekeyd problem I wasn't too keen on that to be honest).

When you say libusb:0, did you test virtual/libusb:0 or the dev-lib/libusb:0?

If it fails with libusb:1, that means you should probaly have "virtual/libusb:0", because libusb-compat gives dev-lib/libusb-1 the exact same API as dev-lib/libusb-0.

Testing here with libusb-compat quickly, udev DOES compile fine.

Changed dependency to virtual/libusb:0
Thanks for reporting the issue.
