On the commandline, try `texhash' (needs to be run as root), `kpsewhich
linuxdoc-sgml.sty', `locate linuxdoc-sgml.sty'.

`texhash' build teTeX´s filename database, `kpsewhich' locates it for
you *according to the database*, not the actual existant files.

Yeah, and locate tells you if you have it somewhere at all.  If you
have it somewhere, but kpsewhich doesn´t see it, then you need to
move the file into a valid texmf tree. A valid texmf tree is one
which is listed in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf under TEXMFMAIN, TEXMFLOCAL
or HOMETEXMF. (You shouldn´t put your own files into TEXMFMAIN.)

Maybe you screwed your TeX, because I get:

  ashwork:~$ kpsewhich linuxdoc-sgml.sty
  /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/misc/linuxdoc-sgml.sty

This is a plain tetex install from slink.

Try `kpsewhich qwertz.sty'.

This is a genuine TeX problem.
