Ok, anacron deals with updating the database then.

The output is still as you report above?

anacron's activities are reported in /var/log/syslog; it must be worth a
look there.

Also, kill the processes (apart from cron) and see what happens with

   /usr/sbin/anacron -s

run from the command line.

Observation: cron-spamassassin-rules does not appear to be a file which
is in Debian. It also has the distinction of producing only one result
when seached for with "cron-spamassassin-rules" on Google. Guess where
from. :)
