It starts fine on a Debian 10 system for me. According to
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libusb-1.0-0:amd64.symbols, that symbol has been provided
by libusb-1.0-0 since version 2:1.0.22, which you have.

Do you have an older version of libusb-1.0.so.0 somewhere in the library
search path, perhaps in /usr/local/lib?
