Hi,
Tried to program ATTINY85 using USBasp, and i got error...
Sketch uses 248 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 8192 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (1%) of dynamic memory, leaving 503 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 512 bytes.
avrdude: set SCK frequency to 187500 Hz
avrdude: warning: cannot set sck period. please check for usbasp firmware update.
avrdude: error: program enable: target doesn't answer. 0
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
Failed programming: uploading error: exit status 1
I don't think it's a bug.
It looks like your direct avrdude command does not change the clock frequency of the upload but your IDE upload attempts to change the clock first, which the old firmware in your USBASP adapter does not support.
If you turn on "verbose output" in the settings of your IDE, you can see which commands it sends to your USBASP adapter. I expect you will see -b 187500 somewhere in the command string.
If you have a USBASP adapter like this, you see two holes in the top left corner JP3
solder two pinheaders and put a jumper there and it should go in slow transfer mode, so you can program a 1MHz clocked part or set it to 8 MHz and after that program it in fast mode by removing the jumper.
At last I was able to reproduce your error with a USBASP adapter with fischl firmware
Only when I install a libusb0 driver for the USBASP I get your error
I am using Zadig for swapping drivers
on the left side you see my active driver, which then results in this error

avrdude done. Thank you.
When I change back to the WinUSB driver or the LibusbK driver (select "replace driver") the error dissapears.

So I recommend you check with Zadig, which driver you have and change if needed.
When using Zadig, make sure to select "List all devices" from the options menu. Or you won't see your USBASP.
Newest USBasp firmware is from 2011...
