I investigated the bug a bit more. Obviously a couple of other users already filed bug reports for the same reason in Debian one year ago. There is bug report #608807 [1] for example which fixed the problem. Dnet-common now asks whether the user wants to configure the network interface for DECnet.
You should also check #616652 [2] and #636373 [3]. At first the bug was solved by downgrading dnet-common from "recommends" to "suggested" for libdnet. The patch was later reverted. Nevertheless dnet-common isn't a problem anymore for cmus in Debian because the user can choose to deactivate it at install time. It is annoying though. But it seems at least in Ubuntu 11.10, the kernel module for DECnet is still activated, although the user skips the configuration of dnet-common. With Debian Sid i can't reproduce this behaviour, so it seems the problem is ubuntu-specific. ===Temporary Solution=== 1. Install cmus with the -R flag without recommended packages as described in Max initial bug report #1 and my comment #4. I suggest forwarding this bug report to the Ubuntu maintainer of dnet-common because DECnet is starting although the user skips its configuration which causes a lot of problems for someone who only wants to install a lightweight music player for the console.
