* libusb-compat: a patch that attempted to fix closed source softare has some negative effects. An SR, disabling the patch for now, is pending against the devel prj (SR#312910)
In the meanwhile I have reduced the number of packages that (build)require this library. some components have already migrated to libusb1 since the rpm specs were written, others do not use it and so on..
From the "important things" only plasma 5 (!!) and gpg still uses the old libusb..the other packages are secondary concerns.
Plasma uses it for the mouse configuration panel. It is used for configuration of older Logitech mice, the code is probably derived from LoMoCo. 1. It is used to configure some "advanced" functionality, e.g. sensor resolution, but nothing basic 2. It only works for quite old mice (one of the newest, MX1000 cordless laser, is from 2004) [1] 3. It does not work out of the box anyway, due to unsufficient permissions for direct device access: terminal output: kcmshell5: Error opening usbfs file: Keine Berechtigung strace output: [pid 13231] open("/dev/bus/usb/002/010", O_RDWR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) "You have a Logitech Mouse connected, and libusb was found at compile time, but it was not possible to access this mouse. This is probably caused by a permissions problem - you should consult the manual on how to fix this." So, lets just disable it.
