I told you the solution is to remove the library you installed manually in /usr/local/lib which is named libusb-1.0.so.0. No package in debian provides any library in /usr/local, all libs are installed to /usr/lib or /lib. The library you have in /usr/local/lib is not from debian, it is something you installed most likely from source. You shouldn't remove the debian-supplied library but the one you installed outside of debian.

Have you a better one? The whole point is that what you did is WRONG. So if you don't listen to advise several people offered to you, at least others hopefully wont repeat your mistake after finding your "fix" in this bugreport.
