Bug Description
I'm sorry if this is completely in the wrong place because it is not really a bug but more an annoyance:
cmus recommends libroar1, which in turn depends on dnet-common and libdnet. If you just apt-get install cmus you end up with a more or less configured DECnet on your machine. This has some side effects, most notably the changing of the MAC-address of your Ethernet interfaces, which really is not what you want, I guess.
Apart from that I quickly ran into problems as I undocked my laptop (ThinkPad T61) from the docking station with an integrated Ethernet port. I don't know if DECnet was responsible for that or if it just was a funny quirk but my machine locked up completely. After rebooting I discovered that cmus wouldn't launch (just a blinking cursor forever). strace told me that cmus hung while waiting for connect() on an AF_DECnet socket.
After that I wasn't even able to start /etc/init.d/decnet without errors, which I was able to trace down to the /sbin/setether script. The script uses /sbin/ip to change the MAC-address, which failed with "RTNETLINK: No such device" on eth0 (the MAC address was already changed to AA:00:00:??:??:??). After that I stopped looking into the problem and purged cmus and all dependencies.
After a reboot DECnet was gone.
Long story short: Installing cmus and cmus-plugin-ffmpeg with --no-install-

Hi,
thanks for reporting this.
I maintain cmus for both Debian and Ubuntu, would you check if this is
reproducible on Debian testing/unstable too?
Thanks in advance for any reply.
