This is how I did it:
I installed the basic TeXLive packages from
synaptics(as required by, e.g.,auctex).Next I downloaded the big
isoimage from here, mounted it, and installed it as usual (sudo ./install-tl, etc.).In
OptionsI chose to create symbolic links, which replaced the older version's synlinks.Finally, I downloaded a fresh version of
tlmgrfrom here, installed it, and updated my system.
Now I have a fully functional, updated copy of TexLive 2012.

The manual download of
tlmgrin the final step should not be necessary, sincetlmgrcan update itself. – Uwe Ziegenhagen Dec 3 '12 at 18:16 -
Indeed. But sometimes it has happened to me (at least in previous versions) that
tlmgrcannot be run unless first updated "the hard way". – NVaughan Dec 3 '12 at 19:22
