[Tex/LaTex] ngerman.sty not found

germanpackages

Whenever I try to compile my .tex file, I get the following error:

! LaTeX Error: File ngerman.sty not found.
Type X to quit or to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)
Enter file name:
! Emergency stop.

Here's a MWE:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{ngerman}
\begin{document}
xyz
\end{document}

This happens even though the ngerman.sty package can be found in the following directories:

  • /usr/share/texlive/texmf/tex/latex

  • /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex

I also tried running the texhash command.
