Package:  dspam
Version:  3.6.2-1
Severity: important

Usertags: incorrect-runlevels incorrect-dependency

With dependency based boot sequencing, I discovered what I believe is
a bug in the init.d script.  It need to have a unique and correct
provides, and should depend on at least mysql and the two versions of
postgresql in the archive (perhaps more, did not find more clues in
the changelog).

<URL: http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts >.

This patch should solve the issue.  Without it, the service will start
to early in the boot, and will also fail to install because of
duplicate provides.
