libusb version 2:1.0.22-2 is available for Ubuntu 18.10 and 19.04 only, and not for Ubuntu 18.04.

There is no officially supported way to install that version on Ubuntu 18.04.

If you definitely need it, you can try manually installing the version for Ubuntu 18.10 on your Ubuntu 18.04 system.
As far as I can see, the dependencies are identical, so this should be possible without problems. In any case you still do this on your own risk.

Thanks a lot for the info, this sounds worth trying. Do you know the steps required for me to try this? Could you explain how to do this, if so? Thanks.

As a prerequisite to provide the commands to install the version for cosmic/dingo, I need the output of the commands

uname -a
dpkg -l | grep libusb

I suggest that you try the following commands (in a terminal window):

wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libusb-1.0-0_1.0.22-2_amd64.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libusb-1.0-0-dev_1.0.22-2_amd64.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libusb-1.0-doc_1.0.22-2_all.deb
sudo dpkg --install libusb-1.0-*_1.0.22-2_*.deb
