The short answer is... You should.
If you know for certain what kind (latex, acrylic or oil) the current paint is, and it is not a high-gloss put on in the last two years, you can try...
Being the lazy kind of painter (I'd rather do a lot of work once, than do a bit of work followed by a huge amount of work to repair the problem) I tend to "do it right the first time" This means a thorough inspection of the walls and trim; removal of all switch plates, light fixtures, etc; repair of all cracks, gouges, holes and damage; re-caulking of all seams and edges where painted surfaces and tile etc. meet; priming the entire area to be painted, with two coats over any new drywall repairs; cutting-in and painting the ceiling if that is part of the project; cutting-in and painting the walls; painting the baseboards and trim; reinstalling the switch plates and fixtures and general clean-up. It takes a bit longer, but it's worth it.

We are rolling primer over the spackled ceiling we let it dry but the spackled part are sloughing off?
Depending on what type of spackle you are using and how thick it was applied it may need to dry longer, but you also need to prime the spackled area before painting. My experience has been to use an oil base primer and any type of paint can be used over it, oil primer works well for a bathroom.
