about using rpm command error in debian

["li Rick" <liqxrick@hotmail.com>]

hi
  I am a debian new user.I had set up Debian env,I will use rpm on it,but 
when I run "rpm -qa",the following error showed:
---------------------------
# rpm -qa
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
#
---------------------------
My Debian kernel is 2.4.18-bf2.4.

Can you tell me How to handle it?

Thanks

Rick
