USB breakdown after reboot

Something USB-related is broken in my computer. Today, during a reboot one of my HDD was routinaly checked (the disk that contains the arch system). It found some errors, and it forced me to do an fsck scan. I think that during the fsck scan, it removed some libraries or some linkages, I don't know.

After that, I rebooted normally but all the USB didn't worked anymore. Now, if I do an 'lsusb' it returns me: "Unable to initialize libusb: -99". Of course, any of my USB devices doesn't work (pendrives, mouse, nothing...).

I searched on Google and on the forum but I didn't found anything similar. Plz help!!

Re: USB breakdown after reboot

I have something now. When I do 'lsusb --help', I get:

'lsusb: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

UPDATE: I have reinstalled usbutils and libusb, and now 'lsusb' shows me again "unable to initialize libusb: -99"

UPDATE2: I solved the problem. I think that reinstalling usbutils and rebooting was the solution... but i'm not sure. Can someone put on title "[SOLVED]"? I don't know how
