New version. From the Changelog:

2007-08-28 Brandon Philips <brandon@…>

• lsusb.c: use correct endpoint maxpacket mask

2006-12-10 Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@…>

• lsusb.c, names.c, Makefile.am, configure.in: gzipped usb.ids
• configure, other autoconf stuff: regenerate

2006-12-10 David Brownell <dbrownell@…>

• usb.ids: update to current version

2006-05-03 David Brownell <dbrownell@…>

This update is overdue, this version dates from 2007-10-24. So, what kept you from upgrading this package in 6.3?

Hey, I got an idea. Why don't you go ahead and build the old lfs-6.3 and follow it up with a full BLFS-6.3. Be absolutely sure not make any changes except for the newer usbutils version, and let us know why it wasn't updated! Now, if I were to venture a guess, it probably had something to do with the fact that they broke every single package that used it on 2006-12-10, but feel free to confirm that.

I was just wondering.

Something similar to pciutils:

sed -e 's|DEST=|&/usr/share/|' \
    -e 's@\$DEST$@\$DEST\ncat \$DEST | gzip -9 > \$DEST.gz@' \
    -i update-usbids.sh &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install &&
install -v -m755 update-usbids.sh /usr/sbin/update-usbids
