To find out where the command is, look at /etc/crontab and /etc/cron.d/*
for a line that contains
`test -f /etc/ipac.conf && test -f /usr/sbin/fetchipac'
To find out about the package that contains fetchipac or ip-accounting-rules
do dpkg -S fetchipac. That will tell you the name of the package (I don't
have it installed, whatever it is). Then you can research the package
and find out how to create a /var/run/ip-accounting-rules that satisfies
it. From the message, it rather looks as if you need to run ipacset; so
`man ipacset' might be a good start.
