Regression: probe-run 0.3.1 fails to install on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

[D1plo1d]

Describe the bug

probe-run v0.3.1 fails to install on my system (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) however v0.3.0 installs without issue.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Using ubuntu 20.04 LTS install libusb-1.0.0-dev and libudev-dev:

libusb-1.0-0-dev is already the newest version (2:1.0.23-2build1).
libudev-dev is already the newest version (245.4-4ubuntu3.13).

2. cargo install probe-run --version 0.3.0
3. This install succeeds without issue.
4. cargo install probe-run --version 0.3.1
5. This install returns a ld error indicating none of the libusb functions can be found. This is a snippet, the actual error is quite long:

This appears to be an rusb issue by way of probe-rs: a1ien/rusb#117

The workaround for now is to remove older versions of libusb and then re-try installing probe-run:
sudo apt remove libusb-dev libusb-0.1-4

Hi!
Thanks for the diagnosis. Had exactly the same problem on the same OS version. Your solution worked fine for me.

In libusb1-sys 0.6.2 this problem should be fixed

Thank you! But I think we still need to wait for a new rusb version and then a new probe-rs.

According to our lockfile, we're already using libusb1-sys 0.6.2.

That's nice. So I think we are done here :)

Needs a probe-run release though

That's long overdue anyways 😉
