Unable to locate package libusb-1.*-dev

When following the README.md instructions, I got the following error:

$ sudo apt install libusb-1.*-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libusb-1.*-dev

I forget how I got it to work when I was initially running through the instructions. This is what I currently have installed:

$ apt list --installed | grep libusb

libusb-0.1-4/focal,now 2:0.1.12-32 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libusb-1.0-0-dev/focal,now 2:1.0.23-2build1 amd64 [installed]

libusb-dev/focal,now 2:0.1.12-32 amd64 [installed]
libusbmuxd6/focal,now 2.0.1-2 amd64 [installed,automatic]

Judging by what's installed, it looks like this is what I did that ended up working:

$ sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
libusb-1.0-0-dev is already the newest version (2:1.0.23-2build1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

(IIRC I tried installing just libusb-dev, since that is indeed also manually installed on my system, but the make script didn't like that and insisted I use libusb-1.0-0-dev instead.)

So, I guess, if it's okay to specify libusb-1.0-0-dev rather than libusb-1.*-dev, you could just update that in the instructions.

Thanks for the report!

I replaced the "apt" command with "apt-get" which should continue support for glob expressions in package names (which has been dropped from apt in favor of something different for whatever reason).
