Looking at the fetchmail init script:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: fetchmail
# Required-Start: $network $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs
# Should-Start: $mail-transport-agent exim4 $named
# Should-Stop: $mail-transport-agent exim4
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: init-Script for system wide fetchmail daemon
### END INIT INFO
and spamassassin:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: spamassassin
# Required-Start: $remote_fs
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs
# Should-Start: $network $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
### END INIT INFO
So you just need to have
Should-Start: spamassassin
in the fetchmail script. And/or
X-Start-Before: fetchmail
in the spamassassin script. Then re-run insserv.
I would suggest filing a bug against the fetchmail package asking them
to do the former.
While the dependency info was missing in this case, this is actually
the nice thing about the dependency based boot. The fetchmail-
spamassassin dependency is implicit with sequence numbers, and not
immediately obvious. As above, it's explicit and obvious with the
dependencies--it just needs adding!
