Finding .deb's

[Edwin]

<cdrom/Graphics/Cinelerra/cinelerra-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm';echo RESULT=$?
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
RESULT=1

Any Ideas what that is

I think it is rpm complaining that it can't find the database where it tracks it's installed packages. I had something simular and could fix it with 'rpm --initdb' in a rootshell.
