Hi Michael,
I saw that my libusb patch with the comment has been merged.
As I indicated below, I have realised that the problem I was looking at for a
user was due to a different issue so that libusb patch with the addition of the
comment can be rejected and reverted.
Regards,
Adolf.

Hi Michael,
Earlier this year someone had a problem where nut wouldn't work because it was
not linked to the correct libusb library and libusb had been updated in 2024. I
thought that this had been a problem of a failure in a library link after an
update because nut had not been shipped.
Withy you asking the question I went back and looked at the failures that had
been reported and recognised a problem I had seen before with nut.
The problem, the user had was not due to a incorrectly linked library but due
to a regression in nut where they ended up making the library requirement to
libusb-1.0.so and not to libusb-1.0.so.0 or libusb-1.0.so.0.4.0
This issue of linking to libusb-1.0.so had been fixed in nut-2.7.4 but
somewhere between there and nut-2.8.2 it came back. They have now fixed this
again in the latest version which is in CU196 (nut-2.8.3)
So the message is not required in the lfs file and my patch can be rejected.
I obviously didn't read the details of the issue reported in the forum closely
enough and missed that it was the direct .so file being required.
Regards,
Adolf.

Hello Adolf,
Could you tell us my about why this is necessary?
The library should have a stable ABI so whenever they are being compiled
independently from each other, they should still work.
Best,
