Circular: can't install libusb-compat for `pacman-key --init` [SOLVED]

So like a lot of people on here have upgraded to pacman 4.

I can't run `pacman-key --init` to update the keyring:

[stuart@myhost ~]$ sudo pacman-key --init
Password: 
gpg: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `/etc/pacman.d/gnupg/trustdb.gpg': No such file or directory
gpg: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
gpg: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And because of signature issues can't install libusb-compat:

[stuart@myhost ~]$ sudo pacman -S libusb-compat
Password:

Change siglevel to never in your pacman.conf, install libusb-compact, change your pacman.conf back, then try again.

That worked - thanks. It'd have helped had I remembered to write over pacman.conf of course! I've not done any mainentance for while, got a little rusty i'm afraid.
