I mean that trying to execute lsusb by typing its name produces the bash error 
message saying that it can't be found. SO clearing the hash table won't have 
any effect.

Yes I did, but same result. But I've found that dpkg (which I've only just 
found out about) says that the package isn't installed, which would explain a 
lot.
So I've just tried using apt-get again. It came up with what look like the same 
set of messages, and this time lsusb works. Don't understand what went wrong 
the first time, but now it's sorted. Thanks for the help.

Best regards,
