Package: gnome-boxes
Version: 3.30.3-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

gnome-boxes does not start.  Trying from command line, issues this error:

    $ gnome-boxes 
    gnome-boxes: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusbredirhost.so.1: undefined symbol: libusb_set_option

Similar issue when starting qemu:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 
    qemu-system-x86_64: symbol lookup error: qemu-system-x86_64: undefined symbol: libusb_set_option

There is also issue #960330 for virt-viewer with the same error.

Thank you
